The Atlanta Falcons brought in quarterback Kirk Cousins over the offseason to help maximize an underachieving offense. While it hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows since Cousins arrived, the veteran QB is doing his best to get his new teammates up to speed.
According to a report by team reporter Tori McElhaney, Cousins brought a group of teammates, including tight end Kyle Pitts, to watch game film at former NFL head coach Jay Gruden’s house in Tampa Bay.
Cousins played for Gruden when the two were in Washington from 2014-2017.
Kyle Pitts said Kirk Cousins took a group of players down to Tampa to watch film at Jay Gruden's place. Said it was A LOT of film.

Despite an impressive running game, the Falcons’ passing offense struggled to get off the ground last season with Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke under center.
Cousins was signed to get the Falcons over the hump after three consecutive 7-10 seasons. The veteran QB leads a young group of playmakers in Atlanta, including running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Drake London.
The team also selected Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, securing the future of the position. For now, though, this is Cousins’ team.
