As Bo Nix shines for Broncos, fellow rookie Michael Penix Jr. watches, learns as Falcons backup

DENVER — On an afternoon when Bo Nix sparkled, fellow rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. made a cameo appearance in garbage time. Just trying to feed off of that, so that whenever I do get in the game, I’m ready for those moments.” Penix was drafted eighth in a QB-rich draft class that saw Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye go 1-2-3. “It’s different being on the sideline than being in the game, but the best I can, just going through the reads, looking at the guys based on our reads,” Penix said. “Taking mental reps and trying to see what coverages they give us, different looks they give us.” Penix completed his first pass of the game with around nine minutes remaining, a strike to Ray-Ray McCloud III for 20 yards.
