Michael Penix Jr.’s First Photo With Falcons Goes Viral

The most talked about selection on Day 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft has arrived in Atlanta.

The No. 8 overall pick on Thursday night, Michael Penix Jr. took some time this Friday afternoon to pose for a photo with Falcons coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot.

Here's the first look at Penix Jr. with his new team:

A Heisman Trophy finalist this past college football season, Penix Jr. dominated opposing defenses at Washington while leading the Huskies to the National Title game.

He finished the year with 36 passing touchdowns against just 11 interceptions.

The fourth quarterback to come off the board in Thursday's first round, Penix Jr. will likely spend his rookie season behind Kirk Cousins in Atlanta.

We wish him the best of luck as he makes the transition to the NFL.
