2024 NFL Draft QB Tracker: Michael Penix Jr., Shedeur Sanders impress in Week 1

New York Times  

Read the latest 2024 NFL Draft quarterback tracker Each week throughout the college football season, The Athletic’s NFL Draft team will take stock of the prospective 2024 class of QBs. GO DEEPER NFL Draft 2024 Big Board: Dane Brugler's top 50 rankings for the upcoming season The main question for Penix’s draft stock is whether he’s more like 2019 Joe Burrow at LSU or 2022 Hendon Hooker at Tennessee. A big chunk of Sanders’ 510 yards came on throws to running back Dylan Edwards, and I’m still unconvinced Sanders’ arm talent ultimately will warrant more than a Day 3 draft grade — he simply doesn’t generate enough velocity on his throws. Performances of note Drake Maye, North Carolina: 24 of 32 for 269 yards, two TDs, two INTs One of Maye’s interceptions was unlucky — a bobbled pass that landed in a stumbling cornerback’s hand.
