Michael Penix on his deep ball, draft prep, why Rome Odunze is the "best WR in the draft" | THE HERD

Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. joins Colin Cowherd to discuss his deep ball ability and game, along with what an NFL team will get in fellow Husky Rome Odunze, explaining why he is the "best WR in the draft." He also compares his throwing game to his scrambling abilities and how the Husky Stadium and other hostile environments (ex: Michigan, Texas) helped prepare him for the NFL. Penix also discusses why his injury history is simply history and not a negative factor when drafting him.

[@GoatedAtNFS]

Michael Penix is the most NFL ready QB you’ll get. 6 years experience, outdueled Bo Nix 3 different times, went toe to toe Caleb Williams too, beat him last year because the USC defense was cooked. unlike other QBs, he plays in a throw first offense and asked to do alot of NFL throws in CFB under Kalen Deboer. only 2 flaws if you even consider them flaws: injury history making him more of a pocket QB and somewhat bad on the layup passes, don’t know if it has something to do with left handed QBs but Tua Tagovalioa had both flaws coming outta college and is now in one of the best offensive systems in the NFL.

[@datboinate0192]

Him and Rome are gonna end up being high caliber players for years to come. This guy is the most complete passer in the draft, and like he even said...I get through my reads fast. MPJ is the best and most experienced(along with Nix) at looking at defense and getting through his progressions.

He doesn’t sound smart. (Elaborative) think he’s just a guy that will put his head down and do what boss tells him to do. Not a bad quality, but not a franchise quality. As a Seahawk fan, he reminds me of a young Geno. If we pass on him (which I think we should do), I think it’s Ryan Grubb that’s the master, and not Penix. I could be wrong tho. 🤷🏻‍♂️
