Atlanta Falcons fans are fired up for the official start of the Michael Penix Jr. era, and they won’t have to wait much longer. As Penix works through his first offseason as the team’s starting quarterback, workouts and minicamps are an important part of the chemistry building process.

The Falcons just wrapped up their mandatory minicamp, which proved to be a positive exercise for this young group. Penix got some reps in with wide receivers Drake London and Darnell Mooney, while Atlanta’s five-player draft class got its first taste of NFL practice.
