Michael Penix Jr. has never been shy about letting it fly. Whether it’s a moonshot down the sideline or that grin in the huddle that basically says, “Yeah, I saw the coverage, and I’m still taking the shot.” You saw the confidence last year when he kept pulling the trigger in crunch time, but somehow he’s still finding new ways to crank the confidence meter even higher.
You’d think the Falcons kid would throw a big rant about not starting a preseason game. What else would you expect from a second year after all? But what Penix said in the post-game interview after the game against the Titans was not only modest, but confident. Words that will put the other 31 NFL franchises on notice.
After being benched against the Titans, Penix didn’t sit around talking smack about Raheem Morris’ decision. “A lot of confidence. I’m ready to go. I’m versatile, plus the guys we have on the field, the ball can go anywhere. All those guys can make a play, and we’re behind a great offensive line. I can’t wait to see what we can do this season.” Yeah, you just know the 24-year-old is going to have a breakout season.
