Back in training camp, quarterback Trent Williams said at one of his press conferences that he would prefer if the Redskins resembled the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA.
Apparently they heard his desire and sent Cousins a home white jersey, personalized with his last name and number.
"I've told my teammates that I'd like to be the San Antonio Spurs of the NFL, be super boring and maybe people at the end of the season just go, 'Wow, they really had a good year and no one really talked about it,'" Cousins said in mid-August. "I don't need to promote myself. I don't need to promote what we're doing. We have plenty of people here who are very good at doing that if we play well enough. I just want to play football. I don't want to worry about anything else, and I found from playing at Michigan State and playing even before that, if you win football games, everything else takes care of itself. It's pretty simple. It's a pretty simple recipe."
Well, Kirk, you can promote yourself this way and still feel like you're a Spur. Problem solved.
