You're worried about what happened after he lead his team to a game winning drive and locked up an undefeated season? This is the first time I've heard anyone describe his celebratory emotions as anxiety.

He literally had to be walked off the field and could not celebrate with this team. I don't know what to tell you, it was not a typical situation.You're worried about what happened after he lead his team to a game winning drive and locked up an undefeated season?

is this anxiety?
Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. Rapped About Comeback Minutes Before TD to Beat Oregon - Sports Illustrated
The video of Washington’s QB defining the phrase “cool under pressure” is grabbing plenty of attention.
I just had to look this up as I was unfamiliar with the events. It was odd. I'm glad that kick won the game because I'm not convinced he would have kept playing.He literally had to be walked off the field and could not celebrate with this team.

It was very underreported. My wife, who doesn’t watch a lot of football, asked what was wrong with him because it stood out. He basically had to be carried off the field after the game.I just had to look this up as I was unfamiliar with the events. It was odd.

Jets make sense on paper but there’s very little chance of taking him.
Let me assure you my man, Pittsburgh need a QB in the absolute worst way.
I agree, plus I think you could at Tampa Bay to that list
Due to the obvious connection with Seattle and their tepid endorsement of Geno I think they are a candidate to trade back in round one for Penix but 16 is to high for him and if Seattle does trade back in round one I think he's headed to round two.
That is exactly who I comped him to. Penix has the quickest release and perhaps the best arm in this class, especially on his deep passes, but his reliance on the pocket is reminiscent of Bradford. My concern with Penix, aside from his injury history, is how he will fare outside of a clean pocket.
He is just so interesting.

Michael Penix Jr: 9,547 Pass YDS over the past two seasons
1,400 more than the next closest Quarterback
The 33rd Team
“There is no question that, based on his 2022 and 2023 tape, Penix is the best intermediate and deep-ball passer in the 2024 QB class.”
Scouting report on Michael Penix Jr., from @gregcosell
𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗛𝗦
- Good-sized quarterback with quick, compact delivery with little range of motion. Can generate velocity when it's demanded.
- Consistently plays with pocket mentality, looking to work through progressions and get the ball to receivers.
- Shows pocket traits of working through progressions and the subtle movement to avoid pressure and deliver.
- Makes intermediate throws vs. zone coverage with a refined sense of timing and anticipation. Aggressive.
- Flashes subtle pocket movement, maintaining his balance and throwing on-platform to deliver with a firm base.
- Has snaps in which he eliminated and isolated within structure and timing of route concept. Quick processor.
- Patient in the pocket working through progressions, comfortably coming to his checkdowns when necessary.
- Eyes and feet are consistently married as he works through progressions. Stays within structure of play.
- Shows the movement ability and awareness to make second-reaction throws. Can play outside of structure.
- High consistency level of precise ball location on different kinds of throws. Throws with velocity and touch.
- At his core is a timing- and rhythm-passer executing and distributing within the structure of the pass game.
- What consistently stands out is he's highly accountable to the system and the pass game concepts.
- In 2023, drove the ball with easy velocity. Threw a tight spiral that accelerated but was highly catchable.
- Shows arm strength to sit on his back foot in the pocket and make throws downfield with ball placement.
- Innate feel for the pocket with drops and sets that sync up effectively with route concepts. Executes pass game.
- Comfortable pocket movement to find a quiet place to deliver the ball. Re-sets platform to make vertical throws.
- Understands leverage of defenders and how that affects ball placement. Shows nuanced understanding of high-level pocket play.
- Has movement ability to make second-reaction off-script throws and enough functional mobility to make throws.
𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗦
- Throws with a wide base, which often makes it appear as if he is pushing the ball and working hard to throw it.
- Has a tendency to take an extra hitch in the pocket on intermediate throws with result being that he's often a beat late.
- In 2023, showed a low, almost-sidearm delivery that reduced his height significantly and made it appear as if he’s 5-foot-10.
- His ball placement must be more consistently precise for a pocket quarterback. Had too many misses on throws that were there.
- Overall ball placement is a bit erratic, and that’s a concern given that 95 percent of his game will be from the pocket.
- Fluctuates between absolute, pinpoint accuracy at all levels and scratch-your-head, can’t-believe-it misses.

NFL scouts on ground at @UW_Football reporting to us that QB Michael Penix ran 4.51-4.57 range on multiple. He also posted 36.5 VJ and 10-5 BJ.
All three numbers are better than any QB that tested at Combine.
@themikepenix is only QB of "Big Six" potential first-rounders in 2024 class to run 40-yard dash.
