Falcons' decision to choose Michael Penix Jr 'selfish,' former NFL player says

The Atlanta Falcons stunned the NFL world on Thursday night when the team selected quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 pick in the NFL Draft just weeks after signing Kirk Cousins to a massive contract. Former NFL player Ross Tucker, who is also an analyst for CBS, appeared on "The Dan Patrick Show" on Friday and tore into the Falcons for making the pick. "When in doubt, in the NFL, in my experience, look for the decision-makers to make decisions that they believe is in their best interest for their job security, and/or job preservation," Tucker explained.
