Penning gives a presser about his change to RT… sounds motivated!

Hopefully! I don’t know what happened with Penning, but you don’t go from one of the better OT prospects to unable to block just like that. In my mind the issue is likely in his head, and if so I hope the young man has taken steps to fix it, whether it translates to on-the-field success or no.

If he can be a contributor, the Saints will be better off for it.

He suffered a foot injury that cost him time in his rookie season, then ended his first year with a lisfranc injury in January, 2023. He was a small school prospect whose steep learning curve was made steeper because of injuries and missed time. Not hard to imagine that got in his head and showed up in his play on the field.

Hopefully he can stay healthy, get comfortable, and settle in as a capable starter.
