EAGAN, Minn. -- Kirk Cousins kept landing on one element of his game that he wanted to improve after a statistically sound first season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2018.
The quarterback has never been known as a guy who will go off-schedule and scramble to keep drives alive with his feet.
Cousins was the lowest-ranked running quarterback in the NFL in 2018, according to Pro Football Focus, having turned 123 rushing yards into 11 first downs and one touchdown. Though his numbers were better during his final season with the Redskins in 2017 (179 yards, four TDs, 13 first downs), improvising has never been a big part of Cousins’ game.
