ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins noticed a ghost from his past on the sidelines in practice Wednesday. A coach from Northwestern, Matt MacPherson, who had recruited him out of high school, attended the workout. His presence served as a reminder for his current situation.
“I wanted a scholarship, they didn’t offer me,” Cousins said of Northwestern. “It’s a reminder that you never know what will happen. They made a decision and went in a different direction, and that’s fine. You play with that. You always try to prove yourself and learn.
