The Atlanta Falcons could make it official Wednesday afternoon that Kirk Cousins was their new starting quarterback, and they were happy to do so. The announcement came earlier today after the official beginning of the new NFL league year, and then Cousins had the opportunity to meet with media and field questions.
With the exception of one hiccup that we’ll get to late in this story, he made a good first impression. Cousins made it clear that he’s ready to help this team win, that he expects to be healthy, and that he’s ready to help Atlanta’s young stars on offense shine in a way they hadn’t been able to the past couple of seasons.
