Kirk Cousins took the snub from his top receiver in stride, displaying a laid-back attitude. When Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson omitted Cousins from his list of top five NFL quarterbacks in an interview with Brazilian journalist Danilo Lacalle, Cousins didn’t seem too bothered by it.
In an interview with KFAN, Cousins responded to the question, stating, “I didn’t even see it. This is the first time hearing about it.” He further added, “As a competitor, yeah, you always want that. People have to be honest and share what they think, and I’m not going to tell somebody what they need to think. Hopefully, in 2024, I’ll be on his list. We’ll see what we can do this year.”
Kirk Cousins is currently the coolest QB in the NFL
While it’s difficult to argue with the quarterbacks Jefferson ranked ahead of Cousins, it’s clear that Cousins wasn’t expecting the moment to go viral. However, Cousins maintained a level-headed perspective and didn’t seem too concerned about not being included on Jefferson’s list.
Despite the omission, Cousins had an impressive season last year, leading the Vikings to a 13-4 record and winning the NFC North. He threw for over 4,500 yards with 29 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions. Meanwhile, Jefferson had an exceptional season, securing 128 catches and 1,809 receiving yards, earning him the AP Offensive Player of the Year award.
Kirk wants his actions on the field speak for himself
It’s challenging to determine whom Jefferson should have dropped from his list to make room for Cousins. While Cousins statistically outperformed Aaron Rodgers last season in several categories, including passing yards and touchdown passes, Rodgers had been coming off back-to-back league MVP campaigns. The bigger picture of Rodgers’ recent success may have influenced Jefferson’s decision.
In the Netflix series “Quarterback,” produced by Omaha Productions and NFL Films, Cousins was portrayed in a fascinating light. The docuseries provided a glimpse into the physical pain he endures to play the position and shed light on his emotional and mental preparations.
Ultimately, Kirk Cousins‘ response to Justin Jefferson‘s snub reflects his relaxed demeanor and focus on his performance on the field. As the new season approaches, Cousins remains determined to make his mark and earn a place on Jefferson’s list in the future.
