Kirk Cousins

Kirk Cousins, born on August 19, 1988, is a prominent American professional football quarterback currently playing for the Las Vegas Raiders in the National Football League (NFL). His journey began at Michigan State University, where he showcased his talent and determination, ultimately leading to his selection by the Washington Redskins in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

During his initial three seasons with the Redskins, Cousins served as a backup to Robert Griffin III. However, in 2015, he seized the opportunity to step into the starting role after Griffin's injury, guiding the team to a division title. His tenure with Washington was marked by impressive performances, setting several franchise records and earning a spot in the 2017 Pro Bowl.

After navigating two years of franchise tags and contract negotiations, Cousins made headlines in 2018 by signing a fully guaranteed three-year contract worth eighty-four million dollars with the Minnesota Vikings. His time with the Vikings was fruitful, as he earned three Pro Bowl selections and climbed to third place on the franchise's all-time passing yards list.

Following his successful stint in Minnesota, Cousins transitioned to the Atlanta Falcons for two seasons, further solidifying his reputation as a skilled quarterback in the league. With a remarkable completion percentage ranking him sixth all-time among quarterbacks with at least one thousand five hundred pass attempts, Cousins continues to leave a significant mark on the NFL.
