As the Atlanta Falcons gear up for the 2023 training camp, all eyes will be on Michael Penix Jr., who enters his second season as the starting quarterback. After a year spent as the backup to Kirk Cousins, Penix is prepared to embrace his new role. His relationship with starting center Ryan Neuzil, combined with insights gleaned from veteran quarterback Matt Ryan, positions him well to lead the offense.

Penix's confidence has reportedly grown, alongside his understanding of the team's schemes. His offseason training program has been focused on refining his skills, especially in reading defenses and improving his decision-making under pressure. With the Falcons looking to improve on their previous season, Penix's leadership will be crucial.
