Falcons' Kirk Cousins reveals how the perception of him changed after Netflix's 'Quarterback' released

Kirk Cousins was among the quarterbacks featured in Netflix's "Quarterback" docuseries last year, which offered an unprecedented look into the life of an NFL quarterback during the season. 

"They know you as a football player, but they don't know you as a person and I felt like that show in one way or another just kind of helped people who have followed me or followed the teams that I've played on to get to know me a little better, which was a huge win."

For Cousins, though, the docuseries is more to him than just fans getting to know him better. 

"For posterity's sake, like, my boys are pretty young, so in 10 years, to be able to pull up that show and say 'Hey boys, you kinda want to go down memory lane and kinda see some of what dad did in the 2022 football season,' I think that will be valuable content to have. So that's kind of fun too and a win coming out of it."

Cousins will play his former team when he travels to Minnesota to take on the Vikings on Dec. 8.
