Vikings’ younger players helping old guys learn new offense

Everyone has a different learning style, but in an effort to get everyone on the same page some younger members of the Minnesota Vikings are helping their quarterback learn the team’s new offensive system in a new way.

Kirk Cousins had been using old school flashcards to help himself learn the Vikings’ new Kevin O’Connell-led offense. However, a couple of his younger targets, wide receiver Justin Jefferson and tight end Irv Smith Jr., have helped him to find a better way.

Per a story by Jori Epstein in USA Today:

As Cousins sought to memorize his new playbook, the 33-year-old quarterback created flashcards with the name of a new play or formation on one side, and a drawing on the other.
