Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has started the last two games for the Atlanta Falcons after the team decided to bench veteran Kirk Cousins following some rough losses and turnovers.
Cousins has shown nothing but respect to Penix ever since being benched, whether it was handing him compliments or praying with him before a game. Penix opened up more about Cousins's influence on him and shared his gratitude for how the veteran has treated him in this odd circumstance.
