Former Washington Huskies standout wide receiver Rome Odunze praised Michael Penix Jr. for being able to persevere through injuries and vouched for his talents.
Rome Odunze could be among the first players taken off the board in Thursday’s NFL Draft. His Washington Huskies teammate Michael Penix Jr. may also be taken early. Penix’s draft stock has risen over the last few weeks, making him one of the best quarterback prospects along with Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy.
Odunze vouched for Penix in an interview with Fox News Digital. 'I think everything on the field, that’s my QB1 in this draft,' the former Huskies wide receiver star. 'I think he’s a tremendous talent. From what he’s been able to do on the field, I don’t think that there’s anything that he really lacks. He’s going to improve on all aspects of his game, just like he has in the past two years.' Penix led Washington to the national title game against Michigan last season.
