Cousins’ competitiveness and meticulousness on display in opening press conference
#1
While much of the focus of Thursday afternoon’s press conference to introduce Cousins surrounded his contract, it wasn’t until he talked about wanting to land in Minnesota that we got a peek behind the curtain of his rise.

“I like to prepare and I like to cover my bases and I don’t like to be surprised,” said Cousins, who spent the first six years of his career in Washington.
Just two days into Super Bowl week, his team made a trade to acquire quarterback Alex Smith, officially bringing an end to the Cousins era in D.C. So instead of club hopping to see if he could hang out with Snoop Dog and/or Cardi B, the 29-year-old QB rented a car and started a recognizance mission.
“I had five or six days here, rented a car and drove by Winter Park and drove through Eagan,” Cousins said. “I wanted to get a feel for the area and did the best research that I could. At the end of the week, I called [his wife] Julie and I said, ‘Everything is checking the boxes here.'”
