At Washington’s Pro Day, Michael Penix showed off his athleticism with impressive results. In his only attempt at the 40-yard dash, he ran a hand-timed 4.53. He also recorded a 36 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot, 5-inch broad jump. Despite feeling good overall during his throwing session, Penix missed a couple of throws out of 60 attempts.
The New York Giants had a significant presence at Penix’s Pro Day. Head coach Brian Daboll, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney, and other key personnel were among those in attendance. After a successful two-year stint at UW where he boasted impressive stats and led the team to the national title game last season, Penix is expected to be a late first-round pick.
