Last season Kirk Cousins left the NFL world in awe when he sported a Hulk Hogan-esque mustache. It certainly got a chuckle, from the social media comment section to analyst booths. However, the striking horseshoe facial hair statement was short-lived, as the quarterback soon had to shave it off at his wife’s request.
Now, the veteran hints that this style statement might see a comeback in Atlanta. During his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, the host made one earnest request to the 36-year-old: bring Mustache Monday back. This refers to the fun training camp event Cousins hosted last year with his teammates.
Everyone had to grow out wild mustaches, and the best one would win a cash prize. The veteran shared this with McAfee while joking that the guys weren’t too fond of the challenge, considering it was so close to Week 1. “I told the guys I gave them about a two-week head start,” explained Cousins.
“ Which really wasn’t enough. I should have given them a little more. And then the other lesson I learned was if you put Mustache Monday a little too close to Week One, the guys don’t like that.
I think I rocked it pretty well.” McAfee enthusiastically suggested that the ‘stache make a comeback, to which Cousins shared how he’s planning another Mustache Monday with the Falcons’ training camp next year. This wasn’t enough for the analyst who pushed for a sooner debut, but the QB just gave a simple answer, causing the host to erupt in laughter.
