Michael Penix Jr. used his pro day to demonstrate the athleticism that wasn't always on display during his two seasons carving up defenses at Washington. The left-handed quarterback and Heisman Trophy runner-up tried to quell any concerns about his athletic ability in front of a bevy of NFL scouts on Thursday. 'I just wanted to show that I'm athletic, and I can do it with my legs if I have to,' Penix said.
He threw for 4,903 yards, 36 touchdowns and 11 interceptions last season while leading the Huskies to the national championship game. For some scouts, his age and injury history have been question marks. Penix, who turns 24 in May, had four season-ending injuries at Indiana before transferring to Washington. He twice tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and suffered injuries to both shoulders. Penix's medical exams from the combine reportedly came back clean.
