When the Atlanta Falcons made the decision to select former Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 overall pick in last month's NFL Draft, millions of jaws dropped to the floor.The reactions didn't really have much to do with the fact that Penix was drafted with one of this year's top-10 selections.
