WATCH: Michael Penix Jr. getting comfortable at Atlanta Falcons rookie minicamp image

As the rookie minicamp starts for the Atlanta Falcons, all the eyes and ears will be on 2024 first-round draft pick, Michael Penix Jr. and judging from how he's spinning the ball thus far, he has not disappointed.

The 24-year-old Penix has been putting on a show, showing off the velocity the Falcons front office fell in love with on their pre-draft visit. As Penix puts it, he "just wants to go out there and improve."

"As a little kid, the dream I had to be here, just prove that I belong."

-Michael Penix, Jr.
