Atlanta Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot made a splash this offseason by signing former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract, including $100 million guaranteed.
On Thursday night, Fontenot generated even bigger headlines — and incurred a bit of scorn and mockery on social media — by selecting former Washington Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft.
