- Michael Penix Jr. says Falcons offense should be 'unstoppable' in 2025
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.
Penix has a humble demeanor and generally lets his play do the talking for him, but even he can't deny the Falcons are loaded on offense. With a top-10 offensive line and a full arsenal of weapons, Atlanta has a chance to be extremely productive this season.

The team averaged 32 points per contest in the three games Penix started last season. When asked about the offense's potential, the former Washington Huskies star wasn't shy about his expectations for the unit in 2025.
"The potential? We should be unstoppable," said Penix. "That's our goal. We want to be No. 1 in all categories."
Penix's lofty goals aren't unrealistic. The Falcons have two budding stars in wide receiver Drake London and running back Bijan Robinson . Both players finished top-five in yardage at their respective positions last season.
Robinson's 1,456 rushing yards ranked third in the NFL, and London's 1,271 receiving yards were the fourth-highest total by a receiver in 2024. The one question mark is at the center position, where veteran backup Ryan Neuzil is set to replace Drew Dalman .

Neuzil started eight games last season, though, and mostly held his own. When we spoke with Penix during the offseason, he expressed the utmost confidence in his new starting center.
"He's going to ball man," Penix said of his expectations for Neuzil . "He's going to do a great job for us. He's a very smart player and he has what he needs to have to be able to be successful."
Penix impressed fans at the team's opening training camp practice on Thursday, and the former No. 8 pick is determined to get the most out of this Falcons offense in 2025. Atlanta's next open practice is on Saturday at the team's Flowery Branch training facility.
