Kirk Cousins may have been "stunned" by the Atlanta Falcons selecting Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday night. But the veteran didn't let any confusion or surprise prevent him from being a good teammate.
While meeting with reporters in Atlanta on Friday, Penix revealed that Cousins called him shortly after being drafted.
"Yes, he did reach out. We had a very good conversation," Penix said. "He reached out last night."
Penix didn't reveal any details of the conversation, but said it went well and that he's excited to work with the 12-year pro.
