You’ll Never Look at Michael Penix Jr. The Same Again…

Some thought Michael Penix's football career could be over just a few years ago after suffering multiple season ending injuries and ACL tears. But now the quarterback is a top prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft. This is the rise of Michael Penix Jr.

As a husky fan I will always love penix for this past season and will be a fan of his no matter where he goes.

As a longhorn fan I’m still hurting from how bad our secondary got burned from that man in the playoffs. Excited to see where he goes in the NFL

[@derrecktaylor8817]

As an Atlanta Falcons fan, I want to thank you for this video. I didn't know anything about Michael's past. I love his resilience and heart, and I'm hopeful it was a wise draft pick for us.

[@SheGotSports]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@22psi08]

#RiseUp!! I am thankful for the foresight and conviction of our GM. Penix is ELITE!! will sit for 2 years then take over a very talented playoff team. Forest through the trees!!!

[@Jake1980]

If Penix can stay healthy he is gonna be great

[@wallywhite5154]

That was awesome. I didn't know any of that about Penix and now I see why he became a pocket passer, it wasn't because he doesn't have the athleticism it's because he was protecting his body. If not for injuries he'd have been a top 5 pick a few years ago. He reminds me of Steve McNair as a passer.

Lauren your videos are getting better and better! Congrats on 100k! Love to see it

michael penix jr is the best quarterback in this draft

[@dalelange845]

Not totally sure about that, but he certainly is the most "pro ready" in the class. 😮

[@OzyMandias13]

@@dalelange845if not, he’s now supposed to sit behind a quarterback who was just signed for 4 years and $180 million, so he has time to acclimate. 🙄😊

[@adammosely6377]

@@dalelange845they really aren’t. The falcons have been in QB hell since Matt Ryan left. Literally the last two years should have been winning seasons but the QB play has been atrocious. They simply don’t want to deal with that again. Then with Kirk they won’t be picking this high in the draft ever again because that’s all their offense needed to score point. Their defense though they couldn’t get sacks was still in the top half of the nfl last year so this was honestly the right move now they have QB security for the next 15-20 years

I would not mind my Giants drafting this talented young man.

[@WandaleProd17]

[@samueldavis1524]

Great video!, Penix has went through injury purgatory. Now after two years with no injuries things are looking up. The same injury persona was talk about with Tua Tagovailoa. Now he seemingly is headed for a big contract. Some thought him out of the league.

[@calvinsmediocrechannel8103]

Penix is gonna be such a dawg with the falcons.

[@flybirdsfly2091]

Great video

[@hummervs3278]

Doesn’t make about his age being a problem imo. The nfl teams get every new draftie on that contract for 4 years with the 5th year option. Would a player be more desirable if 19,20,21,22. Etc? No the money is the same. The contract length is the same. Brady was 45 when he retired. His last Super Bowl win was at 43. Who cares if they would have got him at 21 or 24. Forget Brady by himself- average age of a Super Bowl winning QB is 30-31. It’s all about the skill set and being matched with right coaches, right players. The reason- the only reason Penix is down in the rankings so far is because he is a super risky player. Like playing poker and pushing “all in” often to win, and this almost always leads to injured players. When those injuries add up over time the ability to make the big plays fails. Eventually the ability to play fails because of the injuries. Penix is simply high risk. In high school he was more athletically built than most the guys tackling him. In college the guys talking him were at his level and some above it. NFL- he will be facing the best there is. One monster hit from a guy like Maxx Crosby, Joey Bosa, Micah Parson, Khalil Mack, Gon Miller. Ok- those up front dudes can put a qb down hard and often. But for QB like Penix it’s way worse. Because he is fast and at some point will be running north at speed when some monster is running south at full speed. Warner, Smith coming at full speed- or guys like Ndomukong Suh who still believes the game of the 70s&80s is best. Could you imagine HOWIE LONG coming at this guy full Force?. Career ender. I like Penix. Kinda would like him on my team- but only because I believe the current starter we have can step in and keep wins rolling flawlessly once our offensive line is improved some. If ya can’t tell who my team is- better go read those names again. Haha

[@Daniel-bm5gf]

Lauren, so do u think that injury is affecting his outside throws ? Good vid

[@JMoore68]

Have you seen his arm? It's outstanding.

[@jimmierustler4887]

I want Penix to drop to the late 1st and for the Giants to move up for him. Giant Penix.

[@jessekauffman3336]

Penix will be a hall of famer

[@eversway7540]

I pray that this guy never gets injured again and hope that the falcons protect him so. Players are faster in the NFL and the falcons would be stupid to throw him out there, before they get him that protection. Once their team is built around him, I see nothing but great things happening for Atlanta. I see them maneuvering Kirk once this happens. I just saw this guy play last year and I can honestly say I haven't seen a more pinpoint passer with the arm that he has. I have seen the best of the best. He is just amazing along with Mr. Stroud. Not throwing any shade on the other past and current greats, just my opinion.

[@SheGotSports]

His deep ball is really beautiful. Watching his highlights while making this was so satisfying. It’s like art

This kid and B. Robinson are gonna be be sick together in time. I hope for his continued health and wellness. They need to assure that he is not hit to often. He is a solid pocket passer that appears fear less.

Facts

[@thequixoticangler3364]

I do analysis for the nfl draft. Im one of about 1000 people that get called on for tape analysis, etc... Penix is a massive risk. I admire him. He's as tough as it gets. However, there's a major issue. There are two injuries QBs suffer very often. Knee and non throwing shoulder. Penix has had 2 acl tears in the same knee. That's a surgical failure. You don't get 3 acl surgeries and play again. He's at 2. His NTS was basically a catastrophic injury. The shoulder seperation was relatively minor, but it affected his zip permanently. In the NFL, hes gonna get hit. He didn't get touched in Seattle. They schemed him out of it. You can't do it the NFL. His "bump card" is full. Its not if, but when he gets another right ACL tear. That's his career unless the doctors are soulless. You don't take the risk. I really like him. I don't believe he'll make it 3 years.

[@darrenedwards6705]

Good work on this video...😮

[@Choclate-Chip-Cookie]

Thats cool, anyway heres a recipe for a Choclate Chip Cookie: Ingredients 1 cup butter, softened 1 cup white sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons hot water ½ teaspoon salt 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup chopped walnuts Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container or serve immediately and enjoy!
