Who should I cover next?

As a lifelong Husky fan I’m glad you covered Michael Penix… I have never seen a Washington QB play at the pure talent level that he plays at. Ex Husky Jake Browning could never make the throws Penix is making right now all over the field and he does it on a regular basis. Hard to explain how talented Penix is to people who haven’t seen him. Everybody was thrilled to have Jacob Eason transfer here from Georgia but he never did what Penix is doing. It’s so fun watching him make the throws that I’d only see a few special SEC QBs throw! And Kalen DeBoer has been a godsend as head coach! Thanx for the dive….. Go Dawgs!

Miss Penix and DeBoer at Indiana so much. Glad to see the success they're having at Washington and glad to see Penix healthy

[@tonycrabtree3416]

Wow, I wondered what happened to “that crazy Indiana QB that made Indiana competitive” I thought he graduated or something. Thanks for the update.

This kid is simply the best college Quarterback in the country, his arm talent is insane. Penix Jr can make throws some NFL QB’S can’t. Penix Jr is a pass first pocket Quarterback but he could flat out fly. Can’t wait to see his forty time at the combine.

I'm so happy you covered him. I'm a Washington fan and so grateful he slchose yo come here. He's tons of fun to watch and I hope he has many years of NFL success ahead of him.

BIG PENIX ENERGY

[@davondrel]

Thank you for letting ppl know he’s been special for years! Just needed to stay healthy, anybody that watched IU in years past always knew he could do this

[@cookingorders]

I’m watching this during the 23’ football season. He is currently in the top 2 for the heisman race. He could honestly save the Jets or Broncos franchise.

[@frankdamiano8523]

The guy is a stud. Great arm, cool in the pocket and throws extremely catch-friendly balls. I wish him all the luck in world… Go Dawgs!!

Penix has been amazing to watch. I don't think too many people have seen him play. Let's be honest until the Huskies beat Oregon they haven't really been on the radar. Penix has been nothing short of amazing. His throws are beautiful. Something about his throwing motion makes the balls catchable and they look to be perfect spirals on a 40 yard throw or a 5 yard check down dump off. We have had a lot of good QB's at UW over the years but I don't think any of them could throw like Penix except maybe Warren Moon. That includes another top notch lefty Mark Brunell who only played in the NFL for 19 years. He is slinging the ball like Warren Moon.

Was so over the moon to hear he’s coming back for one more year. He’s gotta be the favorite to win the heisman this coming season with the numbers he was putting up this season

[@bellman4336]

Bro I’m so happy we picked him up. I’ve been a husky fan my entire life and penix is probably one of the best I’ve ever seen. Just insane.

[@unrealsportsreport]

Penix is one of the best qbs I have ever watched. Definitely a draft prospect and should sneak into the top 3 rds

[@ReallyGotMotion]

Reminds me so much of Tua with a better arm. And that is unreal praise. Tua is a fantastic QB

[@davidadamsmusic]

If I was an NFL scout I would really worry about his durability. He is definitely a rare talent however.

[@fridgeinshambles]

im from one of his rival schools when he went to high school so i know how raw everyone is at Tampa Bay Tech but damn did he murder our shit back in his high school days

[@drewgobel931]

Okay so interesting story… I went to school with Micheal from 2nd grade on… in middle school it was clear to see that he was special…. The ONLY reason Micheal did not play his first year at Pasco high before he transferred was because coaches son was the starting QB… even though everyone knew Mike was better the coach of Pasco said I have a senior and I have a freshman and I’m gonna give the senior all the opportunities to enjoy his last season… our small town high school lost out on have a possible nfl alumni but let it go and all cause daddy was the coach…. It’s amazing what could have happend to mikes career all cause coach played favoritism

[@PJM593]

Feels like you're skating over that last season at IU a little. He wasn't right... he came back too soon and probably should not have started the season. The Iowa game broke him and the OL couldn't keep him clean.

[@SarkDawg]

I wish the National media would have seen him play this year. He would be in NY for the Heisman show.
