The College Football Playoff tends to bring out analysis from national talking heads who don’t spend much time watching college football during the regular season. No better example of that came during Tuesday morning’s episode of Undisputed, when legendary NFL wide receiver Michael Irvin compared Washington star quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to Michael Vick.
While both Penix and Vick sported incredible arm strength as left-handed quarterbacks, the comparison stops there. Vick, of course, was known for his game-changing speed at the quarterback position, while Penix rarely takes off and runs. In fact, before Monday’s 31 yards rushing against Texas, Penix had actually accounted for negative rushing yards on the season.
