A talented quarterback with health concerns

Michael Penix Jr.

Last year at Washington, Michael Penix Jr. was an outstanding player, he was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, but that's not what his questions are. Before Penix transferred to Washington he had four season-ending injuries at Indiana.

Penix has serious injury questions that are going to be answered at the NFL Combine. When teams go in to do their physicals on him, they are going to look at these injuries and make sure that he is healthy and able to have a durable career.
