The Atlanta Falcons are loving what they are seeing from Kirk Cousins according to an NFL Network report from Cameron Wolfe.
It was a risk considering Cousins will be 36-years old when the season starts and is coming off a season-ending Achilles injury. However, it was a risk the Falcons believed was worth taking after watching sub-par quarterback play the last several seasons.
Falcons coaches & players tell me new QB1 Kirk Cousins is making “night & day” impact as leader & commanding offense."I talked with a few Falcons this week, both players and coaches, and it was already clear to them the impact that Kirk Cousins is making on this team," said Wolfe on NFL Network. This is a group trying to win their first NFC South title since 2016."
"During OTAs it is Kirk Cousins taking all the first team reps," Wolfe confirmed. "Michael Penix taking the No. 2 reps. I talked to a coach who told me 'Look, Kirk was obviously shocked initially, but the relationship has been good. There's no drama in the building.'
