Minnesota Vikings: 4 reasons to be excited about Kirk Cousins

After agreeing to a very lucrative contract a week ago, Kirk Cousins is set to be the new starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings.

Some still question why the Minnesota Vikings felt it necessary to give $84 million to a quarterback who only has one playoff start in his NFL career.

But the Vikings bringing in Kirk Cousins to be their starting quarterback is not as much about his past as it is about what he can accomplish in the future.

Pairing Cousins with the players in their offense is just one of the many reasons the Vikings are happy to have him as their quarterback for the next few years. What are some of the other reasons Minnesota and their fans should be excited about when it comes to their brand new starting signal caller?
