Michael Penix Jr.QBATL
Penix is expected to win the starting job in Atlanta; Kevin Stefanski's preference for under-center play and play-action schemes aligns better with Penix's skill set than Tua's shotgun-heavy background. Penix hyper-targets Drake London and Kyle Pitts, making him valuable for those pass catchers if he starts. However, injury history is a significant concern—he has suffered multiple ACL injuries.

I think Tua is going to win the starting job... Penix was pretty much strictly from the shotgun from what I recall last year. And I think that opens up more play action, more options to get those weapons involved. If it's Penix, it's fine for those London shares that we have because he just hyper targets him.
