Falcons’ Kirk Cousins: Perception of Him Shifts Post ‘Quarterback’ Netflix Series

Kirk Cousins, quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, shared his insights on how the public’s perception of him shifted after being featured in Netflix’s “Quarterback” docuseries last year. In a recent chat on Barstool Sports’ “Pardon My Take,” the 36-year-old discussed how being part of the series allowed fans to see a different side of him.

Cousins mentioned that the show highlighted not only his football career but also his family life, recovery from injury, and off-field activities, giving fans a more well-rounded view of who he is beyond the game. He expressed that it was enjoyable for him to share these aspects of his life with his followers, as they typically only see him on the field.

One of the most significant takeaways for Cousins was the idea of creating lasting memories for his children. As his kids are still young, he mentioned the value of being able to show them the docuseries in the future and reminisce about the 2022 football season together. He sees this as a meaningful way to create family memories and share his experiences with his boys.

After the 2023 season, Cousins made the move to the Atlanta Falcons, where he has helped lead the team to a successful 6-5 record, currently holding the top spot in the NFC South standings. Meanwhile, his former team, the Minnesota Vikings, has seen new talent like Sam Darnold step up, leading them to a 9-2 record and a close second place in the NFC North behind the Detroit Lions.

Cousins will have the opportunity to face off against his former team when the Falcons play the Vikings on December 8. It will be an exciting matchup between two talented teams, and fans will be watching closely to see how Cousins performs against his old colleagues.
