FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Kirk Cousins has a mission this season. Win games, yes. Bring a Super Bowl to Atlanta, sure. But first: He wants his new, very young teammates to appreciate his taste in movies.
“I’ll quote ‘Heavyweights’ with Ben Stiller, and it’s just crickets,” said 35-year-old Cousins, referencing a 29-year-old movie. “I'll get a laugh from way over in the other side of the locker room from [32-year-old] Jake Matthews because he knows the reference.”
Cousins being Cousins, he’s already planning a watch party to introduce the rest of his new teammates.
