Cousins on Bowers: Tough Times Fade, Tough Folks Endure

On April 8, Kirk Cousins is laying down the law for his new squad in Atlanta, stressing

that shocking effort gets coached every single day.

He's pumped about linking up with tight-in Kyle Pitts and their fresh draft pick, Brock

Bowers from Georgia, calling it a real privilege to throw to.

Elite talent like that.

Earlier this week, Cousins met Bowers and shared how his Georgia loving family had him glued

to the kid's college highlights.

His in-laws basement is straight red and black, and they always hyped how Cousins thrives

with top-tied ends.

Fans and players are buzzing about this duo, but Cousins knows the NFL grind makes real

bonds tough.

Free agency flips rosters fast.

You start with 90 guys, cut to 53.

So leaders got to connect quick to gel and win.

Looking back, he credits early coach Mike Shanahan's wisdom that tough times fade, but tough

folks endure.

Cousins lived it through benches, and Achilles tear, team jumps, mistakes, and comebacks,

his mounting back up, his advice to rookies, stay gritty, grind daily, and chase the mission

without quitting.

That's the edge in pro ball, keeping Falcons locked in for the long haul.
