Michael Pennix, Junior Heard his name called and here's what
we can expect from him in the pros.
His strengths. He brings plenty of experience in production as
a starter and has effortless range on deep throws.
He has an excellent understanding of defensive looks and adjusts
his timing to avoid pressure and sex.
Pennix also adjusts his arm angle when he needs to.
Some weaknesses. His throwing motion is a little choppy and
he'll definitely need to refine that in the pros.
Of all the top quarterbacks,
I think he probably has the biggest questions about accuracy.
And at Washington, he got away with his receivers,
bailing him out on 5050 balls.
He struggles to throw with any consistency and accuracy if
forced to throw off balance or without his feet set.
And perhaps the biggest question with Pennix is availability.
He has a history of injuries,
and in the NFL that will only be magnified his
player comp.
The easy comparison, given that both are left-handed,
is to a Tonga by Loa,
but I think that's kind of a lazy one.
Tua is a far more accurate passer and Pennix has
a stronger arm.
Though they both operate in offenses with similar philosophies,
they're very different players. Penix is a hard one,
but I see more CJ Strout and maybe a sprinkle
of Colin Kaepernick given that unconventional release.
