Michael Penix Jr. will be the guy in the short-term because Kirk Cousins has not been cleared to return from his injury; that is expected to happen before training camp. Penix is not expected to see meaningful playing time in at least one and possibly two years but he may be out to prove critics of his selection -- of which there were many -- wrong.

Mike's a stud. I was hoping the Hawks would somehow land him.

Ignore the noise. Atlanta got a good one. Him being able to sit behind Kirk is a great situation for him.
