The Atlanta Falcons, facing a lengthy playoff drought since 2017, are pinning their hopes on rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. who finished strongly in the previous season. Despite a near title run in 2022, the Falcons struggled, finishing 8-9 after a promising start. Penix displayed significant potential after taking over from Kirk Cousins in Week 16, boasting impressive passing stats and elevating the team's offensive performance. With key offensive talents like Bijan Robinson and Drake London, alongside a solid offensive line, the Falcons aim for a resurgence in 2025.
It's fair to say that Penix changed the trajectory of this offense and it's exciting to see what he can do with a full offseason to prepare as the starting quarterback.
Pro Football Focus named one player from each team to have a breakout season in 2025. Unsurprisingly, Penix was PFF's choice for Atlanta.
