Despite the team’s 7-9 record, Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins had a very solid season, throwing for 4,265 yards, 35 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
In Pro Football Focus’ end-of-the-season player rankings, Cousins ranked 65th.
Here’s what PFF writer Sam Monson wrote about Cousins.
His ceiling may be lower than the best quarterbacks in the game, but Kirk Cousins has vastly exceeded most expectations for the Vikings, and he backed up last season’s career year with another impressive season. Cousins had 24 big-time throws and an adjusted completion rate of 78.6%. He continues to be held back by an offense that remains disappointingly conservative on early downs.
Cousins was one of five Vikings to make the top-101 list. Justin Jefferson came in at No. 15, Adam Thielen at No. 35, Dalvin Cook at No. 40 and Eric Kendricks at No. 70.
Nine quarterbacks ranked ahead of Cousins on the list.
