Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, who previously played for the Washington team, recently visited President Donald Trump in the Oval Office during a trip to Washington, D.C. A photo posted by Margo Martin, a special assistant to the president, showed Cousins with Trump, symbolized by their jersey numbers “18” and “47” respectively. Cousins shared about his visit on his Instagram page, joining other NFL players like Kansas City Chiefs’ kicker Harrison Butker in meeting with the president this offseason.

However, Cousins faces uncertainty as the Falcons concluded the 2024 season with rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. as the starter. At 37 years old by the start of the 2025 season and having undergone surgery for a torn Achilles tendon nearly two years ago, Cousins’ future with the team remains unclear amidst the changing dynamics of the quarterback position.

This visit to the White House highlights Cousins’ continued presence in the football community and his engagement beyond the field. As he navigates potential changes in his career, his meeting with President Trump serves as a notable moment in his NFL journey, illustrating his enduring impact both on and off the field.
