Twitter Exchange Between Kirk Cousins and Adam Thielen Will Make Vikings Fans Cringe
By Michael Luciano
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins and wide receiver Adam Thielen are many things, but very rarely are they called anything close to cool.
That stereotype was further driven home by Thielen's request that Cousins show up to preseason workouts wearing a tank top that he sported during a 2013 football camp. Cousins responded by saying both him and Thielen should be wearing tanks during their workouts. Uhhh ... sick bros!

Now THAT is a sight that very few want to see.
Cousins and Thielen will be able to add a new member to these infamous throwing sessions, as the Vikings used the 22nd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on former LSU receiver Justin Jefferson. Hopefully he's OK with showing a little bit of skin in his first throwing session with his new teammates in addition to dealing with this corniness.

Cousins might be one of the more accurate passers in the league, but his charisma is severely lacking, as his request to Thielen is sure to make any red-blooded Vikings fans wince when they see just how awkward it is.
