NFL legend Michael Strahan's thoughts on Kirk Cousins NFL future came into the limelight on Sunday, less than a week after the Atlanta Falcons benched him in favor of Michael Penix Jr. for the foreseeable future. Strahan believes Cousins will not start another NFL game in his career due to his age and his current abilities.

Cousins, 35, signed a massive 4-year, $180-million contract with the Falcons this offseason, a miraculous haul for someone on the back end of his career with no true postseason success. The former Washington and Minnesota signal caller watched from the sidelines as Penix led the Falcons to a 34-7 win over the Giants.
'There is consistency... consistently mediocre. That's what Kirk [Cousins] has been this year,' Strahan said. 'Whenever you're a great player in your mind you're still that, but sometimes your skill level diminishes and it drops.'. 'You don't know when it's going to happen, it can happen at any point in the season. I think for Kirk Cousins it happened now.'.
