I enjoy a good dive into Pro Football Reference’s franchise leaderboards for the Atlanta Falcons, both because it reminds you of Falcons of yesteryear and gives you an idea of which players are on the cusp of making a little team history.
As it turns out, there could be quite a bit of that happening this Sunday against the Giants, as Michael Penix makes his debut. I rounded up a few potential milestones for you on this fine Friday.
Michael Penix
- Penix will be the first quarterback selected in the first round to start in Atlanta since 2008, when Matt Ryan was the third overall pick.
