Former NFL head coach Jay Gruden gave his insights on why the Atlanta Falcons chose Michael Penix Jr., even as they have Kirk Cousins on the roster.
The Atlanta Falcons shocked the NFL world on Thursday night when they selected quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 overall pick after signing Kirk Cousins. Penix will likely start the season as Cousins’ backup. The former Minnesota Vikings star signed a four-year contract with the Falcons in March, reportedly worth $180 million. The Penix pick on top of the deal made many fans and analysts confused.
On Monday, former Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden appeared on OutKick’s 'Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich' and gave his expert opinion on what the Falcons did. Gruden was in a similar situation in 2012, when Washington took Robert Griffin III No. 2 overall and later selected Cousins in the fourth round. Gruden was forced to navigate that tricky situation.
