2024 NFL Draft: Deion Sanders blasts media, critics for 'ridiculous' analysis of QB Michael Penix Jr.
cbssports.com/college-football/news/2024-nfl-draft-deion-sanders-blasts-media-critics-for-ridiculous-analysis-of-qb-michael-penix-jr/
Quick Glance: Deion Sanders Criticizes Media and Critics for 'Ridiculous' Analysis of QB Michael Penix Jr.
- The coach of the Colorado team, Deion Sanders, is convinced that the former Washington quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., is not receiving enough attention as the 2024 NFL Draft approaches. On Wednesday, Sanders expressed a passionate message of support for Penix, just one day before the draft commences in Detroit.
- Despite concerns about age and injuries, Penix is ranked 30th in the CBS Sports NFL Draft Prospect Rankings and is the fifth quarterback in the hierarchy behind Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, and J.J. McCarthy. This placement still includes Penix in discussions for the first round.
- The only 'average game' Sanders is likely referring to would be the College Football Playoff National Championship game last year, where Washington lost 34-13 to Michigan. In that game, the left-handed passer completed 27 of 51 passes for 251 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, marking an unremarkable end to an incredible two-year run with the Huskies.
- Penix secured the second spot in the Heisman Trophy voting, leading in passing yards with 4,903 in 2023, and threw 36 touchdown passes while leading Washington to the Pac-12 title. Penix's 25-3 record as a starter for the Huskies is legendary for a team that had a 4-8 record the year before his arrival.

Quick Glance: Zach Wilson Trade Notes: Jets Deal QB to Broncos before 2024 NFL Draft
- Nearly three years have passed since the New York Jets selected quarterback Zach Wilson as the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and are now officially trading the heavily criticized signal-caller to the Denver Broncos.
- At the age of 24, Wilson has been available since the beginning of the 2024 offseason, with the team's general manager, Joe Douglas, openly stating the intention to relocate the former first-round pick.
- In urgent need of quarterback reinforcements, the Broncos made significant roster moves by releasing veteran starter Russell Wilson before free agency and entering the draft with Jarrett Stidham leading the depth chart.
- By signing journeyman Tyrod Taylor as Aaron Rodgers' primary backup earlier this offseason, the Jets effectively indicated the conclusion of Zach Wilson's tenure with the team.
