Michael Penix Jr.

The 2023 Heisman Trophy runner-up led the NCAA in passing yards with 4,903 yards. He is viewed as one of the most accurate passers in the draft class - boasting the fourth-highest completion percentage on intermediate throws (10-19 yards) in the draft class last season. He also had the third-lowest pressure-to-sack rate (7%) which further highlights his playmaking abilities and his propensity to not eat drive-killing sacks. The soon-to-be 24-year-old didn't post high rushing totals, but that may have been more related to the offensive systems he played in college. His pro day featured a 4.58 40-yard dash, which is impressive for QB who has torn his ACL twice.

Michael Penix Jr., a former Washington QB and a 2024 NFL Draft prospect, reportedly had "clean medicals" from multiple teams, likely meaning his MRIs checked out.

Fantasy Impact

Penix is an older prospect mostly because of his medical history, sustaining multiple season-ending injuries to the knee and shoulder. However, a clean bill of health is all Penix needed to lock up his place as a Round 1-2 prospect in this year's draft. The former Huskie and Hoosier is considered among the top six QBs in a strong class.
