The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to be in the quarterback market during the 2024 NFL Draft, and Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. currently ranks 20th overall on NFL Mock Draft Database’s consensus big board and could climb up even higher on draft boards this fall.
After a successful but injury-riddled career at Indiana, Penix Jr. transferred to Washington this past season and ended up leading the Pac-12 in passing yards (4,641) and ranking second in touchdowns with 31.
His impressive arm strength was a big reason for those numbers as he racked up 27 ‘big time throws’, third-most in the conference per Pro Football Focus.
