Synopsis:

“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
