Freeney Picks Tua Over Penix | Atlanta Falcons News

Hall of Famer Dwight Freeney weighs in on the Falcons’ QB battle, favoring Tua Tagovailoa over rookie Michael Penix Jr., citing Tua’s veteran accuracy and adaptability under new coach Kevin Stefanski — though he acknowledges Penix’s potential in a read-option system. Despite Tua’s injury history, Freeney believes he can still lead a potent offense and dismisses the “last shot” narrative, pointing to Rivers and Flacco as proof. Tua’s back issue sidelined him early but he’s back, while Penix continues rehabbing from his ACL tear. The final call remains with Stefanski as camp heats up.
