Falcons' Michael Penix Jr.: 'Super Blessed' to Learn from NFL Veteran Kirk Cousins

Atlanta Falcons rookie Michael Penix Jr. says he isn't worried that his position behind veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins in the depth chart means he isn't projected to be a starter during his first season in the NFL.

"It's definitely going to be great," Penix told reporters Friday, per Charles Odum of the Associated Press. "I'm super blessed to be able to be right here in this position with a veteran in front of me, just learning from him and going about my business each and every day and just trying to find ways to improve and get to where he is, multiple years in the league.
