Kirk Daniel Cousins was born to Discovery Church senior pastor Don Cousins and his wife, Maryann. He grew up in Orlando, Florida, with his two siblings – one older and one younger.

While he attended Holland Christian High School in Michigan, he played for the Maroons athletic teams. Cousins excelled in football, baseball, and basketball.

But…

… because of an ankle injury, Kirk had to attend camps just to catch some attention from scouts.

And it worked!

Because in college…

Kirk went to Michigan State University on a football scholarship. He was a kinesiology major.

He spent the 2008 season as backup quarterback to Brian Hoyer. Until 2009, when he won the starting quarterback job over Keith Nichol.

In his last year as a Michigan State Spartan, he led the team to win against the Michigan Wolverines. Then Kirk was given the 2011 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award.

Kirk’s professional career started in 2012.

The Washington Redskins picked Cousins and Robert Griffin III for the 2012 NFL Draft. Kirk was the backup quarterback to Griffin.

After completing 15 of 27 passes at the preseason’s last game during his rookie year, Kirk was named backup quarterback to Rex Grossman.

Cousins’s debut happened when Griffin got injured. As he tried to tie the game against the Atlanta Falcons, he threw two interceptions and his first NFL touchdown pass.

And then…

Griffin suffered another injury. Cousins, of course, came to the rescue. In their game against the Ravens, Kirk scored on a quarterback draw.

It paved the way for him to be the Washington Redskins starter for the game against the Cleveland Browns. Though it started slow, the game picked up the pace, leading to Kirk’s two touchdowns that brought them a win.

So, he was named the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week!

In 2018…

Cousins signed with the Minnesota Vikings. That ended his run with the Washington football team.

Kirk Cousins contract was worth $84 million. And in 2020, he signed another one for $66 million. For sure, the Vikings didn’t regret that investment.

Kirk was very impressive in his first year with his touchdowns and 425 passing yards during the game against the Green Bay Packers.

In his entire NFL career…

Cousins has been recognized many times.

He was NFC Offensive Player of the Week twice and the NFL completion percentage leader in 2015. In the same year, Kirk threw the 65th perfect game in NFL history. Add to that how he set a record for most completions in a game with the Washington team franchise history! He was NFC Offensive Player of the Week twice and the NFL completion percentage leader in 2015.

And even now, he’s considered one of the highest-paid NFL players in the world. Thanks to his football salary and big endorsements like Nike, Bosse, Midwest Chain Pizza Ranch, and Easter Motors!

But despite that…

Cousins is big on putting money away for the rainy days. He doesn’t live extravagantly as his fellow athletes do.

During the 2020 pandemic, Cousins worked out in his parents’ garage. He also bought his grandparents’ van and drove around with it.

That’s humility at its finest!

Speaking of the pandemic…

Kirk received minor backlash for choosing not to get vaccinated. Instead, he promised to make sure safety was first during his training.

Because of that, the team listed him in the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Today…

Kirk Cousins practices his Evangelical Christian faith.

He lives with his wife, Julie Hampton, and two kids in Atlanta, Georgia.
