"I like Kirk," Westbrook told Twin Cities media members following Wednesday's practice, which was the first full-team session of the 2021 season. "I thought it was crazy because, obviously, Kirk's been in the league for a while. I've been watching him for a minute now, and for me to get that text message, 'Hey, it's Kirk Cousins,' he's excited to work with me, my heart kind of [skipped]. "I'm excited to be out there with him too, building that chemistry up," he added. The Vikings didn't put Westbrook through the gauntlet on Wednesday but could soon shift where passes are also things he receives from Cousins.
