Kirk Cousins wearing a helmet but no pads on the sidelines of a preseason game led to so many jokes
Kirk Cousins is always going to be the butt of memes and jokes, whether it was how he came off in Netflix’s Quarterback or how he plays when the game is primetime.
This time? It was for him simply standing on the sidelines and not playing in a preseason game.
But here’s the thing: Cousins wore his helmet. And he wore no pads. Meaning, he knew he wasn’t going in but wore his helmet anyway. Maybe it was a show of solidarity or leadership or something.
But fans definitely had jokes about the sight of him in the helmet but no pads look:
