Michael Penix Says He's Healthy

9 months ago

Washington quarterback Michael Penix said on Friday at the NFL scouting combine that he thinks he's put questions about his health behind him and he's ready to be somebody's franchise signal-caller. Penix believes his medical exams for all 32 NFL teams went smoothly and he's ready to throw for those in attendance in Indianapolis. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has Penix rated as the fifth QB in this year's draft. In his four seasons at Indiana before transferring to Washington, he tore his right ACL twice and had injuries to both shoulders. He missed 25 of his possible 51 games for the Hoosiers. But Penix threw for 4,641 yards and 4,903 yards, respectively, in his two seasons with the Huskies, including 67 total TDs. The 23-year-old lefty QB didn't miss any time at Washington, but he'll nevertheless be a risk/reward NFL prospect in April's draft.
