Kirk Cousins’ reaction to Falcons drafting Michael Penix revealed in ‘Quarterback’ trailer

The debut season of the hit Netflix docuseries “Quarterback” followed the highs and lows of NFL quarterbacks Marcus Mariota, Kirk Cousins, and Patrick Mahomes. Now, the show is gearing up for its highly anticipated second season, set to premiere on July 8. The trailer for season two was released recently, giving fans a glimpse into the tumultuous journey of three new quarterbacks – Cousins, Jared Goff, and Joe Burrow.

In the trailer, viewers witness the emotional rollercoaster that Cousins experienced during his first season with the Atlanta Falcons. Fresh off signing a lucrative $180-million deal, Cousins faced unexpected challenges when the team drafted Michael Penix Jr. as his potential competition. The trailer hints at heartbreak as Cousins reflects on his decision to leave the Minnesota Vikings for a long-term opportunity with the Falcons, only to face a mid-season benching and the arrival of a new quarterback.

Cousins’ struggles are not unique, as Goff and Burrow also faced their own share of disappointments during the past NFL season. Goff’s Detroit Lions, despite being a top team, suffered a heartbreaking loss in the playoffs to the Commanders. Meanwhile, Burrow dealt with off-field issues when his home was broken into, adding to the challenges he faced on the field.

As the title card in the trailer suggests, “All the Heartbreak,” season two of “Quarterback” promises to delve deep into the emotional turmoil that these quarterbacks endured throughout the season. From benchings to unexpected setbacks, the show offers a raw and unfiltered look at the human side of professional football.

Fans can expect a riveting season ahead, as the show navigates the personal and professional struggles of Cousins, Goff, and Burrow. With its unique blend of drama and authenticity, “Quarterback” continues to captivate audiences and provide insight into the lives of NFL players beyond the gridiron.
