Atlanta's $180 million QB didn't expect the team to draft Michael Penix Jr., but he’s dealt with high-profile competition since high school.

Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins spoke publicly for the first time since Atlanta used a first-round draft pick on Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. And as the 35-year-old veteran talked of moving forward and co-existing with a high-profile rookie, his core message was this: I've been here before. 'This is more the norm than the exception,' Cousins said Tuesday of his situation and his ability to push through unexpected competition.

We've got a guy in the building that we hope can be our potential guy moving on in the future. I really love both of the people. ... You might not like the initial reaction of what is going to happen, but if you sit down, if you go through the process, talk to enough people, figure out what the goals are and we get it on the line, let's go. Let's go to work.' Cousins is making progress in his recovery from a torn Achilles tendon that ended his 2023 season in late October.
