MOBILE, Ala. - Former Washington star quarterback Michael Penix Jr.'s career arc has been defined by overcoming adversity, as he endured four season-ending injuries during his first four seasons of college football while playing at Indiana.
Penix stayed healthy the last two years at Washington, leading the nation in passing yards per game in both 2022 and 2023 and going 25-3 as a starter.
Penix came to the Senior Bowl this week to compete for a spot in the NFL draft's first round, as his injury history is part of the reason that his prolific production the last two years isn't in sync with his draft projections.
