One NFL head coach is comparing himself and his general manager to the league\u2019s power couple: Travis Kelce<\/a> and Taylor Swift.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Atlanta Falcons<\/a> first-year head coach Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenont are the talk of the NFL Draft, as the selection of Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. continues to dominate football discussion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Veteran signal caller Kirk Cousins was signed to a four-year contract with the first two years guaranteed, but Falcons brass decided to go with Penix \u2014 a pick for the future \u2014 instead of bringing in someone in the first round to help immediately in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many scratched their heads when they saw commissioner Roger Goodell call out Penix\u2019s name at No. 8 overall, but Morris and Fontenot were on the same page.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I hate for it to be the story of the draft, but I know it will be,” Morris told reporters. “That\u2019s just how our world is based and is driven. But I can\u2019t say it\u2019s annoying, no, because it\u2019s what people want to see. It\u2019s piqued more interest.”<\/p>\n

SUPER BOWL-WINNING QUARTERBACK EXPLAINS WHY FALCONS DRAFTING MICHAEL PENIX JR WAS \u2018BRILLIANT\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s because of this wide interest into the pick that Morris decided to compare his current popularity in news headlines and social media threads to Kelce and Swift.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What\u2019s [Travis] Kelce\u2019s girlfriend\u2019s name? I\u2019m Taylor Swift<\/a> and Terry is Kelce. We\u2019re making this thing popular,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, there is a key difference between Kelce and Swift\u2019s popularity compared to Morris and Fontenot. The football star and pop icon are massive celebrities that make for one of the most intriguing couples in the entire world, and their popularity comes from their extreme success.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Morris and Fontenot have gained notoriety because the pick of Penix has baffled many. Even Cousins\u2019 agent, Mike McCartney, admitted he and his quarterback client were surprised.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We had no idea this was coming,” he told the NFL Network in a statement. “The truth is the whole league had no idea this was coming. We got no heads up. Kirk got a call from the Falcons when they were on the clock. That was the first we heard. It never came up in any conversation.”<\/p>\n

Now, what the Falcons decide to do with their picks and subsequent NFL future is entirely up to them. But it was an odd pick considering they dished out $180 million ($100 million guaranteed) to Cousins, who is coming off an Achilles tear, this offseason.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Either way, the pick is etched in stone and Penix\u2019s NFL career begins by learning under Cousins\u2019 wing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether the pick works out in the end will determine if Morris and Fontenot will truly be as popular as Kelce and Swift<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
