A NFL field marshal was seen in the White House with President Donald Trump on Friday.
The veteran of Atlanta Falcons, Kirk Cousins and Trump, posed for a photo in the Oval office that has since turned viral on social networks.
The image, published by Margo Martin, Trump Special Assistant and Communications Advisor, had the title “#18 [handshake emoji] #47. “
The numbers represent the Jersey number of Cousins and Trump is the 47th president of the United States.

Trump wore a navy blue suit with a bright yellow tie to meet with Cousins, who left the Vikings of Minnesota for Falcons in free agency the low season.
Trump and Cousins have a relationship that dates back to the time of Cousins with the Vikings. Trump called Cousins after a 28-10 victory of Cousins’ Vikings over New York giants in October 2019.
A spokesman for the Vikings confirmed to a local station that Trump called Cousins to “briefly congratulate him the Vikings for the victory in New York.”
Trump was scheduled for a minneapolis rally for the 2020 elections when Cousins defeated the giants in “Monday Night Football.”

And even before that, Cousins caught some attention for playing a golf round with Trump at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, in June 2017. Then, his relationship has covered a few years, and Cousins clearly supports the president until today.
The next NFL season will be interesting for the 36 -year -old signal call.

The Falcons chief coach, Raheem Morris, made the change in Quarterback to the rookie Michael Penix Jr. towards the end of last season, even with Atlanta in a playoff race, because Cousins fought in his first campaign in the south.
Cousins launched for 3,508 yards, 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions, and its qualification of 88.6 field marshal was the worst since its 2014 season with the Washington commanders.
Cousins left a torn Achilles with the Vikings in the 2023 campaign, and many wondered what would happen to him in the open market while he was recovering.
The Falcons signed it with a four -year agreement and $ 180 million with a whopping $ 100 million guaranteed. However, in the largest shock of the NFL 2024 draft, the Falcons selected Penix Eighth in general outside Washington, causing immediate speculation about the field marshal position.
Cousins was the headline at the beginning of last season, but for Morris it was clear that a change was needed. The way that field Marshal situation is developed in the training camp will be a great NFL history in 2025.

Falcons may choose not to participate in the remaining two years of Cousins in their agreement after the 2025 season, when their $ 100 million guarantee is satisfied.
