The 2024 NFL Draft was all about the Atlanta Falcons. Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who was expected to be selected considerably later owing to concerns about his age and injury history, was chosen by the club with the eighth overall choice. Additionally, the pick was made one month after Atlanta gave veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins a $100 million guaranteed contract. On Thursday, Cousins expressed his displeasure. Raheem Morris, the team’s newly recruited head coach, offered an intriguing analogy following a leaguewide emphasis on his squad.Morris remarked of the pick, “I hate for it to be like the story of the draft.” “I’m sure it will be. I cannot say that it is annoying, but that is the way our world is structured and functions. No. It’s generated greater interest because it’s what people want to see. What is the name of Travis Kelce’s girlfriend? Right now, I identify with her. I suppose Terry Fontenot, the general manager of the Falcons, is Kelce, and I’m Taylor Swift.” When Swift and Kelce’s relationship took off this past season, it’s no surprise that they became the talk of the NFL. The Kansas City Chiefs earned their second consecutive championship in the Super Bowl thanks to their continued momentum. Morris and Fontenot have the same objective going into the next campaign; they’re just less focused on getting noticed and more focused on winning. However, if the draft this past weekend is any guide, people will be discussing this pair’s choice for a very long time.
