Michael Penix Scouting Report
Strengths
Michael Penix Jr. has proven to be one of the best deep-ball throwers in this draft class. He has incredible touch and accuracy on the deep ball which shows that he has the ability to push the ball down the field. Penix has a quick release and does a great job at getting the ball out quickly when he feels pressure.
He can make tight-window throws while putting great velocity on the ball. His overall accuracy makes him such an intriguing player to general managers across the league. He plays with great confidence which is a trait that we have seen all of the top NFL QBs possess.
Weaknesses
Unfortunately, Michael Penix Jr. has a history of season-ending injuries — four of them to be exact. This is what ultimately will drive some organizations away from drafting Penix. He has stayed healthy in each of the past two seasons, which gives hope that his durability might not be as big of a concern. Penix also has shown very little mobility when maneuvering outside of the pocket. He has excelled as a true pocket passer in college but will have to learn to extend plays with his legs in order to have success in the NFL.
