Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins expressed feeling "a little bit misled" after the team selected Michael Penix Jr. in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The revelation came in an episode of the Netflix docuseries "Quarterback," which debuted on Tuesday. Cousins, who signed a lucrative free agent deal with the Falcons prior to the draft, apparently wasn't fully aware of the team's plans to secure a potential successor so early. The selection of Penix Jr. raised eyebrows across the league given Cousins' recent arrival and the significant investment made in him.
