Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"This game means a lot to me, and by the grace of God, I'll never lose sight of the privilege it is to play it."
--Kirk Cousins
Kirk's book is a reflection of who he is--not just a football player, but someone who is committed to making those around him better in every walk of life.
--Mike Shanahan, head coach, Washington Redskins
In 2011, the NFF selected 16 college football players as "National Scholar Athletes", one of the highest honors a college football player can receive ... Kirk was one of these distinguished 16, which says everything you need to know about him.
--Archie Manning, chairman, National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame
Kirk Cousins is a lot more than an outstanding quarterback. He walks the talk. Few people I've met can inspire like he does.
--Jon Gruden, ESPN announcer and former head coach, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
In a world with far too many bad examples, Kirk is a bright light of hope, inspiration, and leadership for a new generation.
--Bill Huizenga, United States Congressman, Michigan
