The Atlanta Falcons were the last team to open training camp for the 2025 NFL season, holding their first official practice on Thursday morning. After backing up Kirk Cousins in 2024, Michael Penix Jr. is going through his first camp as the team's starting quarterback.

The Atlanta Falcons confused many around the NFL when they added two potential starting quarterbacks during the 2024 offseason. After signing Kirk Cousins to a lucrative four-year, $180 million contract, the team drafted Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

With Michael Penix Jr. under center, Kaleb McGary becomes the Falcons’ blindside protector. Can he handle the pressure and earn a new contract?
