With his presence alone, Kirk Cousins gives the Atlanta Falcons legitimacy they haven’t had in years. If the veteran can continue giving Atlanta borderline top-10-level production, the Falcons might even be an understated Super Bowl contender.
All of this is well and good. And the Falcons certainly should appreciate their new quarterback. But that doesn’t mean they’ll hold back any (probably warranted) roasts of their new franchise player.
In a tweet on Monday, Cousins mused about how an unspecified Falcons teammate told him he gave off “Dad vibes” in the lunch line. While that’s probably brutal to hear for a 35-year-old who’s only spent a few weeks with his new team … are they wrong?
Well, that certainly didn’t take long…
3rd week with the Falcons & a teammate says to me in the lunch line: “I feel like you give off serious Dad vibes, Kirk”— Kirk Cousins (@KirkCousins8) April 15, 2024
Cousins’ entire essence is corny dad. This is not necessarily a bad thing because being a corny dad is essentially a rite of passage in our society. It’s a badge you wear proudly while polishing up your dad jokes and solid white New Balance shoes. But it’s still so funny that Cousins’ Falcons teammates already see him in this light, and they haven’t even played a single game together.
Talk about a guy living up to his reputation.
