Kirk Daniel Cousins (born August 19, 1988) is an American professional football quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL). He ranks fifth all-time in completion percentage with at least 1,500 pass attempts^[2] and is eighth in the NFL's all-time regular season career passer rating.

Cousins played college football for the Michigan State Spartans and was selected by the Washington Redskins in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL draft. He spent his first three seasons as a backup to Robert Griffin III before replacing an injured Griffin in 2015 and leading the team to a division title. With the Redskins, Cousins set several franchise records and was named to the 2017 Pro Bowl. After two years of signing franchise tags and being unable to agree with the team on a long-term deal, Cousins signed a fully guaranteed three-year US$84 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings as a free agent in 2018. In six seasons with the Vikings, he earned three Pro Bowl selections and ranks third in the Vikings' all-time passing yards list. Cousins joined the Falcons in 2024.
