Falcons quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix rank low in executive poll

Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix rank low in a recent poll conducted by NFL executives. Tagovailoa placed 26th, tied with New Orleans Saints starter Tyler Shough, while Penix was ranked 32nd, just below Deshaun Watson. Tagovailoa, signed this offseason after being released by the Miami Dolphins, is expected to be the starter for Week 1 as Penix has not yet been cleared for full-team drills following a serious knee injury. The Falcons may need to explore trade options if neither quarterback improves early in the season.
