NFL Network compiled a list of the top wide receiver, quarterback, and running back from the same college. Kirk Cousins helped Michigan State crack the Top 10.

During the first episode of the Netflix series "Quarterback," not only did Cousins say the he felt "misled" by the Falcons during free agency in 2024, but he insinuated that he would NOT have signed in Atlanta if he had known that the Falcons were planning to take a quarterback with the eighth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft,

Kirk Cousins believed he had all the facts and with no reason to doubt the Atlanta Falcons' vision with him as the centerpiece of a new offense, he signed a four-year, $180 million contract in March 2024.
