playing with Penix?


It would make him the best prospect since Michael Sam.


How long can he catch balls from a stiff Penix?

Pretty harsh review of Penix from Bleqcher Report:

Quote:
Michael Penix Jr. is a stationary pocket passer with a live arm and a penchant for pushing the ball down the field.

Everything with Penix's game starts and ends with arm strength. The ball explodes out of his hand. He can bomb it 60 yards down the field with the flick of the wrist, as well as attack tight windows to the intermediate range. Penix is at his most accurate down the field as well.

Penix isn't afraid to use his arm, either. He's always hunting for shots down the field and is more than willing to give his guys a chance in contested situations, a trait that served him well with Washington's exceptional ball-winners.

Penix also flashes the ability to handle pro concepts. The Washington offense threw the ball aggressively and often asked Penix to read the entire field. His timing and consistency in operating those concepts comes and goes, especially when he gets knocked off his first read, but you see promising moments of Penix working from one side to the other to make a tough throw down the field.

However, Penix is largely unproven versus pressure. Washington's offensive line kept him as clean as any quarterback in the country, but he often struggled to find ways to get the ball out when he did get pressured. Penix is not a nimble, thoughtful mover in the pocket, and his low, clunky release makes it difficult to find unique throwing angles. Penix is not an impressive creator outside the pocket at this stage, either.

Penix also has issues with accuracy, specifically adding touch to throws. Penix is a Will Levis-esque one-speed thrower. That serves him well in certain spots, but it hurts him greatly when he needs to layer throws and loft the ball over defenders.

For teams that want to chuck it down the field with a heavy dose of play action, Penix is an interesting dice roll. His live arm, aggressiveness and moments of progression passing give him a shot to stick in the NFL. With that said, Penix's lack of touch, shaky pocket management and minimal ability to create plays will limit his ceiling in the pros.
