NFL Coach Says Michael Penix Jr. Is No. 2 QB in Draft: 'He's a Stud, a Born Leader'

It's safe to say at least one offensive coach in the AFC would love to have Michael Penix Jr. on his team.

"Penix is my No. 2 guy," the coach said of the Washington quarterback prospect, per Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. "I love Penix. He's a stud, a born leader, calm and collected and in a genuine way. He's a baller. He turns it loose, can throw it into tight windows. He stands in the pocket, lets plays develop, takes hits, throws it down the field. He's just a winner."

He did plenty of winning in his final season with the Huskies and led them all the way to the College Football Playoff national championship game.
