Vikings first-round pick, Garrett Bradbury, has an interesting habit that QB Kirk Cousins is apparently a huge fan of.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has his quirks. Everyone knows that. His unique personality was probably displayed best during his ‘you like that!’ moment as a member of the Washington Redskins.

Cousins rallied the Redskins from a 24-0 hole against the Buccaneers in Week 7 back in 2015. Washington won the game, 31-30, and he was fired up. As he should be.  Some players can maintain a level of cool even in those emotional moments. Cousins on the other hand? Well, take a look for yourself:

Cousins received even more ridicule last summer when he shared a picture of what he called steaks on his grill. The mystery meat became a viral talking point in the football universe.

And now, after the team’s first round of offseason team activities, Cousins is offering another odd reason to wonder just what makes him tick.

When asked about his impressions of first-round pick Garrett Bradbury, Cousins replied by saying he’s a fan because Bradbury ” tucks his shirt in every day.” According to Cousins, Bradbury’s style choice is indicative of his work ethic, saying “it sends a message” to his teammates that’s he’s ready to put in the time and effort required to be successful.

Interesting.

It takes a lot more than just tucking your shirt in to be a successful NFL lineman, and while Cousins is known to make some tongue-in-cheek comments like this from time to time, it just feels like a weak attempt at being funny. It missed its mark.

Unless, of course, Cousins is serious and really has a greater appreciation for teammates who, ya know, tuck in their shirts.
