Michael Pennock Jr sir what do you think
about the consensus here it was the
first second grade you have him listed
in your piece one-2 rounds one-2 and
Peter shreer our colleague on good
morning football and his mock had him
falling completely out of the first
round what’s your what what’s your sense
speaking to all these folks and your ear
to the ground about what’s going to
happen with penx one week from today is
he still on the board you think Michael
penx might be the most polarizing
quarterback prospect Rich I’d say JJ is
polarizing to a certain degree but pennx
I had and you can find that first quote
on on Michael penx it’s another good one
I’d love to hear your dramatic read of
it but there are people who will say he
is the number two quarterback in this
class and I had other people who ranked
him seven several people behind Spencer
Rattler with Michael penck he’s
unbelievable when he’s playing on time
and we all saw that through the course
of last season assuming that you stayed
up late enough to see some of those
Washington games when it’s a clean
pocket and he is in Rhythm he’s really
really good and everybody says he’s
really smart he picks up on offense I
had one I think it was a coach who told
me like he can find guys he’s one of
those quarterbacks who when somebody
pops open he can find them with his eyes
which might sound like the dumbest thing
ever but there are guys who are just
strictly going on progression penx is
also instinctive he does get through the
progressions he can process but also he
has the instincts to kind of figure out
where that open guy is going to be the
concern with pen
is when it’s not clean in the pocket
when he has to make plays off schedule
you’re not entirely certain what’s going
to happen he had a grand total of eight
rushing yards last season um his testing
numbers were pretty good which leads you
to believe is part of it not an
inability to be mobile but a lack of
want to be to be mobile because listen
the guy had four consecutive season
ending injuries he’s had two ACLs he’s
had a shoulder the knee got checked out
I would anticipate on a lot of boards he
has a lower medical grade because two
ACLS just creates a lot of you know a
higher risk factor and he’s had the
other injuries but he’s been healthy
over the last two years here um it’s
nothing from what I’ve been told and
I’ve spoken to GMS I’ve spoken to others
about it there’s nothing in Pen’s report
that’s going to cause him to fail a
physical but there’s 32 teams 32 doctors
32 degrees of risk tolerance and penx is
certainly going to be in that category
which brings us to the quote that I was
going to have you read there rich but
the coaches are less concerned about
that this is much more from a coaching
perspective with penics about fit if I
had to guess to answer your question
Rich I’d say yes he comes off the board
in round one but if he slides into round
two that wouldn’t stun stun me at all
