Sub 4.5,40 and 36.5 inch vertical for Michael Penix

DonnieD89 : 3/28/2024 4:31 pm
at Pro Day. I say it’s not bad for somebody who doesn’t scramble. I wonder if he did the three cone.

is really impressive, especially given his injury history.
testing numbers are one thing  
ElitoCanton : 3/28/2024 4:43 pm : link
he's been really bad at movement within in the pocket and his stats fall off the cliff when he's moved off the spot.
4.53 on one scouts watch, 4.56 on anothers.

Nevertheless, great performance. The 2 acl tears on the right knee are concerning, but I have a feeling he is going to be healthy and have a great NFL career.

I've only watched a handful of Penix games, he hasn't been a threat outside of the pocket but he does have the lowest sack/pressure rate of all of the QB's; that would suggest to me that he has a pretty good feel in the pocket. Do you see something different?
I am amazed he is that fast  
PatersonPlank : 3/28/2024 4:59 pm : link
However with him this is straightline "Jones type" speed, not the Daniels/Lamar/Murray escapability quickness. Still however this was a great day for him

He does move around in the pocket well, as the sack/pressure numbers confirm. The idea that he is a product of his line and receivers is silly.
Pretty solid...

Was the track level or was Penix running on a slight decline? ;)
With his arm?  
bluewave : 3/28/2024 5:09 pm : link
He's going in the 1st round!
Michael Penix is a supreme athlete  
Fishmanjim57 : 3/28/2024 5:15 pm : link
Whichever team that drafts him will be getting quite a steal!
I’m picturing the headlines now

does it matter how high a QB can jump without a football in his hands?

His pocket movement is a lot better than Daniel Jones and numbers do show he is adept at avoiding sacks. You are driving a narrative that may not be totally true.

40 times, too. Keon Coleman plays faster than his time. Daniel Jones was timed 21.23 mph and one of the faster players in the league and his 40 was less than spectacular. People get too caught up in 40 times for whatever reason.

He had an elite OL with multiple guys who will be drafted this year.

That time and vertical  
Joey in VA : 3/28/2024 11:12 pm : link
Indicate a far more explosive athlete than shows up on highlights. He has to be vaulted into the top 5 discussion after this. His low sack numbers and high efficiency are off the charts but he was cast as a statue. He has to be in the discussion at 6 now. I wasn't impressed against Michigan but that's a nasty front and a great team. I can see Daboll unlocking him now. I know people poo poo the vertical but it's a direct indicator of overall body power and explosive potential. 36.5 for a QB thought to be sessile, is a revelation.

Too far?

hard on the Eagles.

Penix shrivels in the Green Bay cold.
Wow! Months ago Williams and Maye were the head of the class. Then  
Ira : 3/29/2024 11:11 am : link
Daniels joined them followed more recently by JJ. Now we have a group of 5. Who will go first? Probably Williams. But more importantly, who will be the best nfl qb?
