In the modern NFL, most snaps are taken from the shotgun, but the Vikings prefer to do things the old-fashioned way, by having Cousins shove his hands under his center’s butt and take the ball. (My editor let me keep “asshole” in this article because it is a direct quote.) Outside of the adult film industry, it’s tough to imagine coworkers having more intimate knowledge of each other’s anatomy.Īnd no current NFL QB shares more of these moments with their center than Kirk Cousins. The things a quarterback says about a center’s butt reveal the deeply personal nature of this relationship-Aaron Rodgers says he pays close attention to his center’s butt height and sweatiness Jim Harbaugh instructs his QBs to find their center’s asshole with their knuckles. When a quarterback takes a snap from a center, the two players share a shockingly close moment with each other.

Cincinnati is in its second year with Joe Burrow, who looks very much like the QB that fans hoped he would be after Cincy took him first in the 2020 draft. Pittsburgh is riding out the last days of Ben Roethlisberger, who occasionally just falls over for no particular reason.
