Michael Penix Jr. overcame multiple injuries through the first few years of his collegiate career. He then transferred to the University of Washington where he revitalized his football career and became a Heisman Trophy finalist and then a first-round draft pick.
When he heard his name called by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, he had the support and love from his friends and family surrounding him, which included his girlfriend, Olivia Carter.
"I forever want you next to me."
He added a few photos of the couple on NFL draft day from his home in Tampa Bay. As well as a photo of the couple on their way to Atlanta for the first time to meet with the Falcons.
Penix met the former collegiate soccer player after transferring to Washington, which is Carter's home state. The two debuted their relationship on social media on Christmas Day last year and she has since shown her support for him and his NFL endeavors in the last few months.
