In order to track down the Washington Redskins' starting quarterback for a big feature spread, GQ had to track Kirk Cousins to his summer home in Michigan.

Except it's not really Cousins' house anymore, but his parents still have a spot for him and his wife Julie in the basement as guy playing on a $23.9 million contract gets ready for the 2017 season.

All the while driving a 2000 GMC conversion van ("Gandalf, The Grey"), which Cousins bought from his grandma for $5,000 a few years ago.

That's just a tease to the great piece from GQ's piece on Cousins, written by Clay Skipper.
