In his first year as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, Kirk Cousins had a lot of pressure in his face from pretty much every opposing defense. Cousins was sacked 40 times in 2018, the second-highest single-season amount he’s endured during his seven-years in the NFL.
Despite all the hits he took last season, the Vikings quarterback didn’t miss a start. In fact, Cousins hasn’t missed a game under center since he became a full-time starter for the Washington Redskins back in 2015.
So how is he able to remain so healthy even with all the punishment he takes out on the field each week?
