Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales has fond memories of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Canales, then the Seattle Seahawks' passing game coordinator, coached Cousins at the 2020 Pro Bowl in Orlando. On one bus ride to practice, Canales brought his daughter, Ashby, who he estimates was around 11 years old at the time, along with him.
"You just see the way he was so conscientious about everything," Canales said. "Just the relation, the way he went about it, he connects with people. Just a great human too. Can’t say enough good things about him." Now over-four years removed from that late January day, Cousins is still rolling. He's coming off the first 500-yard passing performance of his career, a 42-of-58, 509-yard, four-touchdown aerial assault against the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football last week. Hefor 1,373 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions this season, which is his first with the Falcons. He signed a four-year contract worth up to $180 million in the spring, leaving Minnesota after six seasons.
