Before the nfl combine or free agency, the pittsburgh steelers have been linked to about every quarterback. The mid-round quarterbacks are much more likely to be called upon than any other quarterback, so having michael penix on the team could force them to make a move to sign him. Penix is a classy gem, according to bruce arians, who was the steelers offensive coordinator at one time and now a super bowl champion. “as far as the football class goes, i love (penix) because he does things i love to do,” arians told the tampa bay times. “he brings (the ball) up the field.
He’s as accurate on throws up the field as anyone i’ve seen in 15 years. just to get through the last game after his ankle tore up. But what he did to texas was unimaginable.” arians doesn’t like penix enough. In fact, he adores the entire class and believes it to be the best true quarterback class in a decade. Arians said, “this could be the best group of quarterbacks to emerge in ten or fifteen years.” “they’ve got guys running (the 40-yard dash in) 4.5 seconds and some guys slinging it,” he said. In this draft, the passers are just amazing.” if you want to land penix, you should point to it.
He completed 28 of 36 attempts for 430 yards and two touchdowns against them, demonstrating his best attributes. Penix has a nickname that means he can get a little hot and cold at times, but there’s no doubt he was on in this game. As he made tight window throws downfield all game, his vertical passing ability sank out. The most impressive part of his game? the ability to play. His pocket movement. Penix’s calm movements allowed him to effectively distribute the ball to his excellent playmakers. It could help him to increase his draft stock by a lot, though there will be some questionable medicals. But if that’s the way pittsburgh wants to go, his vertical passing with george pickens could be a real weapon.
