Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins isn’t worried at all about coronavirus.

The NFL is geared up to start in about a week, and there’s been a lot of talk about the virus as we enter the season. Cousins is okay with however it shakes out. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

“You know, even if I die. If I die, I die…If I get it, I’m going to ride it out. I’m going to let nature do its course … And just say, if it knocks me out, it knocks me out. I’m going to be okay,” Cousins explained on the “10 Questions With Kyle Brandt” podcast when talking about coronavirus, according to TMZ Sports.

Is Kirk Cousins a football guy or is he a football guy? That’s the kind of mentality I want in my leader running the offense.

If he dies right there on the field, then he’s okay with that decision! The man knows what he wants, and that’s to play football.

He won’t give the coronavirus pandemic a second thought! After all, worrying about a virus won’t help put the ball in the end zone.

I can’t wait to see the outrage that comes from these comments from Cousins. You know people are going to be furious that this is his approach, but I don’t blame him at all.

He’s not going to live in fear, and that’s his choice. I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees, and it sounds like the Vikings star has the same approach.
