Kirk Cousins named winner of 2023 Bart Starr Award

Kirk Cousins has been doing a pretty solid job on the football field for the Minnesota Vikings this season. On Wednesday, however, he was recognized for what he does off of the field as well.

Cousins was named as the winner of the 2023 Bart Starr Award, an award that was created “to honor the NFL player who best exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the home, on the field and in the community.”

According to the announcement of the award on the Vikings’ official website:

Cousins and his wife launched the Julie & Kirk Cousins Foundation in October 2018 in order to build on their faith through impactful philanthropy.
