These days, Kirk Cousins has a bit of time on his hands. And only part of it is because his Minnesota Vikings didn’t make the NFL playoffs this year.
The 35-year-old quarterback has been recovering from an Achilles tear sustained in October in a 24-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
At the beginning of the recovery process, he was a little apprehensive about not knowing what to expect, Cousins told For The Win in a recent interview promoting his Super Bowl 58 partnership with Tostitos. But he said his rehab is going strong and he’s “making progress every day.”
Though still in recovery, he’s still looking forward to the Super Bowl like everyone else — and maybe, as a Michigan native, secretly rooting for the Lions.
For The Win spoke with Cousins about his recovery, a big football season all around for the state of Michigan and what books and movies he’s into these days.
This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.
