Kirk Cousins revealed he had a couple close calls with his centers that left things a little … erm … unclean downstairs.
In an appearance on Kevin Hart’s YouTube show Cold As Balls, the former Vikings QB said he had to tell his centers to change their pants during practice after he lined up in the danger zone.
“First thing I do post-practice is go to the bathroom sink, scrub my right hand because yes it is a problem,” Cousins said when asked if he ever had concerns with the cleanliness of lining up under center. “We have had some close calls with some centers who had some brown stains on white practice pants during practice. I tell them ‘Go change your pants. Now.'”
This isn’t the first time Cousins has raised concerns about the cleanliness of his centers. Back in 2019, Cousins brought up then rookie center Garrett Bradbury’s “sweaty shins” during training camp.
“It’s the whole thing,” Cousins said. “I look at his shins and it’s just like pouring. It looks like my window after a rainstorm. Then I look at my shins. It’s just genetic, I guess. I don’t know.”
“My immune system has to be so strong,” Cousins jokingly told Hart.
The veteran QB revealed his viral Kirko Chainz persona came about on the plane ride back from team’s 2022 win in London.
“So we beat the Saints in London and we had like a 10-hour flight back to Minnesota from London. Our left tackle Christian Darrisaw was a younger player, had just splurged and bought himself a custom chain with a spinner. So, first class on the plane was like a night club,” said Cousins. “They had like boom boxes going, everybody was having a blast, the next thing I know CD, who was sitting behind me, his chain comes over my head and drops on my shoulders. Everybody started taking photos and putting it on social media.”

“Then we got on this win streak. So the next away game, I’m not even boarding the plane yet and they’re like ‘What do we got this time?’ Next thing you know I’ve got guys’ Rolexs, I got more chains. And then the next win ‘I guess I’ll just take my shirt off. I don’t know where this goes from here though.’ I looked at a teammate at one point and I go ‘Just how much money is on my person right now?’ He kind of looked and he’s like ‘At least a million dollars.'”
