Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. impressed one of his veteran teammates.
And while some players may have brushed off the three-day event to focus on their offseason, Falcons backup quarterbackInstead, Heinicke said during organized team activities that his reaction mirrored the majority.
But in the two-plus months that have followed, there are no such worries about the Falcons' quarterback room. Heinicke, the lone returning member from last year's quarterback room still on the roster, said both Penix and Cousins have been great in meetings. But not to be lost in the situation is this: Heinicke, who finds his status as the Falcons' backup in question due to Penix's arrival, won't hesitate to lend a hand to the 2023 Heisman runner-up if needed.
Last season, the Falcons carried three quarterbacks - Heinicke, Desmond Ridder and Logan Woodside - on their active roster. Woodside was inactive on gamedays, but NFL rules allow for the third quarterback to play if the two above him get injured during the game.
