Michael Penix Jr. addressed injury concerns ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft

There are several concerns regarding each of the draft prospects in the running and the franchises are keeping a close tab on everything before making a decision. One of the concerns regarding Michael Penix Jr. is the list of injuries affecting him throughout his college career. The former Washington QB addressed those concerns in a letter to NFL GMs through ‘The Players Tribune’.

“Truth is, I’d be more worried if I had never been injured. We don’t all come back the same. I can’t speak for those that have never gone through anything,” he argued.

Michael added that he knows how deep his foundations are and the types of challenges that he can withstand due to all the injuries he faced throughout his career. According to him, there is more to his story. It remains to be seen if the letter can help lift his draft stock further.
