If the Falcons were looking for a quarterback of the future in the 2025 draft, they would be in big trouble. The quarterback position is not as talented as it was in 2024 when six quarterbacks were taken in the first round.

Penix, a 24-year-old rookie who was drafted No. 8 overall last April, went 58-for-100 passing for 737 yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions and one rushing score. He capped his season with a 312-yard, three-total-touchdown performance in a 44-38 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers.
