FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Wearing a pale gray suit with a red tie and black sneakers, Kirk Cousins stood at the podium Wednesday evening explaining and reinforcing what he was saying, all while settling into his new home.
His sort-of new home. The Atlanta metropolitan area has been a place of familiarity for the new Atlanta Falcons quarterback and his family for a long time. His wife, Julie, grew up here. He has spent parts of offseasons in his father-in-law's basement in Johns Creek, Georgia.
So when the chance to come to Atlanta became available -- and it matched with a strong football commitment in him -- he chose to take it.
