So a couple years ago there was a QB in the Big Ten who was on a team struggling similar to Minnesota last year, did not have a good OL or any good WRs just like what Athan was faced with, and was actually really hurt from the year before (just so you guys know Athan was banged up last year and actually played with a leg brace a couple of times including the North Carolina game). This person ended up with a 53% completion percentage-the EXACT same percentage as Athan last year- before a shoulder injury, unrelated to the injury from the previous season, cut his year short and he sat the final four games. He then goes into the portal and lands on a team with a much better WR group and a better OL. Sound familiar?
That person was Michael Penix Jr., who ended up throwing for 4600 yards that season for Washington with a 65% completion percentage. Now I'm having a little fun here, but I did find it interesting that Penix had exactly the same completion percentage as Athan. Now of course AK isn't going to be that prolific, but for those who think how much can a QB improve from a 53% completion percentage there is some history that it can happen.
