Michael Penix Jr. Praises Kirk Cousins After QB Switch, Says Vet Can 'Do No Wrong'

There's no hard feelings between Atlanta Falcons veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins and rookie signal-caller Michael Penix Jr. after the team benched the former player for the latter on Tuesday.

In fact, Penix told reporters at a Wednesday press conference that he looks up to Cousins, who he says can "do no wrong," per ESPN's Marc Raimondi.

The Falcons signed Cousins to a four-year, $180 million deal in March before adding Penix with the No. 8 overall draft pick one month later. So it's been an interesting situation to say the least, but it's clear the two get along well.
