Kirk Cousins has gone from relatively unknown Redskins backup quarterback to fan favorite and (at the moment) NFL Star.
Cousins, who was drafted after RGIII in the same 2013 NFL Draft as basically a safety blanket incase Griffin didn’t turn out, which at this point has been a genius pick, has overtaken the former Baylor QB as the starter in Washington and taken them to the playoffs as NFC East Champs.
A big part of this shot into stardom? Not so much his play, but rather three words… “YOU LIKE THAT?!”
The words were born after Cousins and the Skins came back with a come from behind win, awkwardly but passionatley shouting the phrase at reporters as he walked back into the locker room. Ever since he mustered “You like that?!” Cousins has been on a hot streak, and the stats prove it.
The stats, per ESPN.com, show before ‘YLT’, which covers about 2/3rds as his time as a starter, and the 1/3 following.
Incase you haven’t seen the video, or just want to enjoy it again…
Why yes, yes we do like that Kirk.
