Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris said the Falcons are excited with where new quarterback Kirk Cousins is at. The former Spartan quarterback tore his right Achilles tendon last year.
Former Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins has been on a mission to finally be on a contending team in the NFL. Going from the Washington Redskins to the Minnesota Vikings seemed promising as he went to the playoffs a few times. However, injuries to key players like Justin Jefferson, as well as Cousins, himself, prevented a deep playoff run in his final couple of seasons with Minnesota.
This offseason, the Atlanta Falcons signed Cousins to a four-year, $180-million deal in March. Atlanta also drafted Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, but Cousins is still the projected starter. “You’ve seen him pretty much execute everything you would execute and we’re treating him that way. The tempo up front is a little different in the offseason and who people that affect the quarterback and how they get around the quarterback, we know it’s not the same as it would be in a game. But we’re really excited on where he’s at in his progress. We’re really excited where he’s at in his mental capacity to hold the offense and what he’s able to do and bringing it all out for our guys.
