Simmons signed a one-year deal with the Falcons last offseason, and the 31-year-old safety had the opportunity to practice with Penix and see the rookie quarterback as having the potential to become a starter in the future. 

“Training camp. It was my third day of training. My third day there,” Simmons said. “He was taking over the second-team linebacker and facing the second-team defense. He threw the ball out of the sideline. It was the wildest throw I’ve ever seen. And I think whatever he can do, he can do it. I’m excited to see what he can do.”

Penix, the former No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 draft, impressed teammates on defense during training camp practices before he was handed the opportunity to fill in for Kirk Cousins ​​in late December. He played in the final three games of the season and showed his creative ability. ( superheng1688 )
