Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins has shared an off-field story about his connection with new teammate Brock Bowers. Cousins revealed that his familiarity with the rookie goes back well before their time together in the NFL.
Cousins explained that his wife and her family are closely connected to the University of Georgia, where Bowers played college football. He regularly followed the team and Bowers in particular during his college years.
‘My wife went to Georgia, and my in-laws went to Georgia and my wife's siblings went to Georgia. So, I watched a lot of Brock Bowers, and the basement at my in-laws, where I've lived for many offseasons, is all red and black, so I've watched a lot of Brock Bowers with my in-laws,' Cousins said.
‘They would always say even when he was at Georgia like boy Kirk, if you could play with him, you know, you've always done well with tight ends. If you can play with him, that would be exciting. And so I think my father-in-law is pretty happy that I get to play with a Dawg.'
Cousins and Bowers are set to work together in Las Vegas, bringing together experience and emerging talent within the Raiders’ offense.
