FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons' quarterback Kirk Cousins called former Super Bowl champion coach Jon Gruden before reporting to his new team's offseason workouts in the spring. Cousins wanted to schedule some time for him and his receivers to fly down to Tampa and visit with Gruden to watch film.
Cousins also wanted Gruden's perspective on the Falcons.
"I said, 'Give me your deal,'" Cousins said. "The first thing he said: 'Drake London, that guy is a bad ass.' And that's what you like to hear. You like to hear a coach who you respect and feel knows a lot about football saying one [thing]: bad ass.
