SEATTLE -- On his final throw Thursday, Michael Penix Jr. put a bow on his performance at the University of Washington pro day by unleashing a deep ball that traveled some 75 yards in the air for a completion, showing off the arm talent that has made him one of the top quarterback prospects in this year's draft.
What happened at the start of the workout might have actually been more significant.
That's when Penix posted a sub-4.6-second time in the 40-yard dash, perhaps checking off an important box to the roughly 100 representatives from NFL teams on hand to watch him and several other Huskies who are expected to be selected next month.
