Michael Penix Jr.’s GF Olivia Carter backs former Washington QB's stellar performance during NFL Combine 2024
The girlfriend of Michael Penix Jr., Olivia Carter, proudly supported the former Washington quarterback's performance at the 2024 NFL Combine. Carter took to her Instagram story, posting a photo of Penix and cherishing the former Huskies signal caller.
“❤️❤️,” captioned Olivia.
Penix Jr. led the nation in passing yards (4,903) during the 2023 college football season. Relied on for his accuracy in Washington's Air Raid system, Penix exhibits NFL-caliber skills with impressive distance and velocity on various throws, especially outside the numbers.
However, there is scope for improvement for the 23-year-old, such as less natural assault in the intermediate middle of the field and a tendency to rely too heavily on power, which affects his ball placement accuracy.
As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, the quarterback market is filled with exciting prospects. While USC's Caleb Williams takes center stage as a premier playmaker, other notable names like Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, J.J. McCarthy, and Bo Nix are also in the mix.
