The Atlanta Falcons made the most shocking pick of the first round in the 2024 NFL Draft, taking quarterback Michael Penix Jr. eighth overall after signing Kirk Cousins to a $180 million contract earlier this offseason.
During an NFL Draft live stream with Bleacher Report, Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts learned of the Penix pick in real-time. While the entire panel for Bleacher Report, which included Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, were taken aback, Pitts had a positive reaction.
