MINNEAPOLIS -- Based on his past experiences with free agents, Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer believes Kirk Cousins will be even better in his second season in Minneapolis.
“The big thing is every free agent I’ve had in my 25 or 26 years -- however many years I’ve been coaching -- they’ve always played better the second year,” Zimmer said at the NFL combine. “They have to learn where everything is. They have to find a place to live. You can go through our free agents: Captain Munnerlyn, when he was with us, his second year.
