You're going to. Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here and

before we get to my interview with Carmen Vatale of Fox Sports

just a quick little update for your mind the Minnesota Vikings according to

reporter Jordan Schultz had a meeting with Michael Pennix Jr. and did a workout

with him out in Seattle.

So this is not shocking news that the Minnesota Vikings would be meeting with a potential first round

quarterback right but at least it's an update to let you know that they are doing

the due diligence on in my mind one of the most interesting

prospects in the entire NFL draft because if Michael Pennix Jr. had no injuries whatsoever and he used the four or five something speed that he has to run around a little more, make a few more plays off schedule, scramble, escape, run some QB runs.

We would probably be talking about him at the very top of this draft, as in a top 10 prospect, and yeah, you'd have to take a year or two off of his age as well because that's a factor.

So he has a few things that are going against him, but when we look at the production from Michael Pennix Jr. over the last two years,

led all of NCAA in passing over the last two seasons, took a team that has never been to the national championship since a very long time ago,

into the national championship, beat Texas in an incredible performance in the final four and has led that team really successfully as the centerpiece of their entire offense where he was operating everything.

They did not lean heavily on the run game. He was throwing down field. He led the entire

college football in big-time throws. Like if he had done these things without those

couple of negatives against him that don't really have a lot to do with him running an offense and throwing the football and when we're talking about knee surgeries and we're talking about

scrambling and so forth we would be looking at him I think through a quite the different lens and I

wonder if what the Vikings want to find out is if they can't trade up to the top or if the only price tags are so outrageously high that they do not want to pay them. Would they be okay with drafting

Michael Penix Jr. at 11 or with even trying to wait until number 23. One thing I do have a feeling about is

despite my most recent draft simulation that you can see over at purple insider.com

where I was able to get Byron Murphy the second and

Michael Penix Jr. by sitting at 11 and 23 is I think that the more time
