Michael Penix Jr. shows off athleticism at UW Huskies pro day
SEATTLE (AP) — Michael Penix Jr. used his pro day to demonstrate the athleticism that wasn’t always on display during his two seasons carving up defenses with the UW Huskies.
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.
Penix ran the 40-yard dash after opting not to at the NFL combine, with scouts timing him at 4.51 and 4.57 seconds. He also posted an impressive vertical jump of 36 1/2 inches.
