Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell had a front row seat to Matthew Stafford’s rise from a losing situation with the Detroit Lions to hoisting a Lombardi Trophy after winning Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams.
Everybody loves a good rags to riches story, and the hope is that O’Connell can write the sequel in Minnesota. The only question is whether his leading man, Kirk Cousins, is good enough to get the job done.
During an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show, O’Connell was asked why he thought Cousins is a Super Bowl quarterback after just seeing one as the offensive coordinator for Stafford and the Rams.
