Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins said he felt a little ‘misled’ when the Falcons took QB Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, in the first episode of Netflix’s ‘Quarterback.’ Cousins said he was aware the Falcons might draft a quarterback, but definitely not that high. He wasn’t informed about the Penix pick until a phone call by offensive coordinator Zac Robinson while Atlanta was on the clock. ‘Certainly, if I had the information around free agency, it certainly would’ve affected my decision,’ Cousins said on the first episode of the season. ‘I had no reason to leave Minnesota with how much we loved it there if both teams are going to be drafting a quarterback high. But I’ve also learned in 12 years in this league that you’re not entitled to anything. It’s all about being able to earn your spot and prove yourself.’
