Kirk Cousins Siblings – Meet Karalyne Cousins & the QB’s Lesser Known Lucky Charm Brother

Kirk Cousins is surely one of the good QBs out there! With a QB rating of 63.2, the Vikings‘ athlete stands at 7th in the league right now, per ESPN. But there’s more to the QB’s statistics than his performance. And a certain presence from the Cousins family helps him land better stats.

Well, per Kirk’s father, both Kyle and Karalyne are surely the biggest fans of their brother. But who are Karalyne and Kyle Cousins, and how have they been helpful to Kirk Cousins?

Meet Kyle and Karalyne Cousins

Kirk Cousins was born to Don Cousins and Mary Ann Cousins. The pastor and former flight attendant are parents to three children. Not many know about Kirk Cousins’ siblings, Karalyne Cousins and Kyle Cousins. The Vikings’ QB is the middle child of the family. His older brother Kyle and younger sister Karalyne were also involved in sports growing up.

Currently working as a director for the Mission Increase Foundation in Orlando, Kyle Cousins used to play baseball in college. While Karalyne Cousins was involved in tennis and cross-country running. However, she didn’t pursue a career in sports and graduated from Michigan State University College. She currently works as a doctor in Florida.

Kirk Cousins’ father Don once opened up about the strong bond that the siblings’ share. He shared in an interview with the Holland Sentinel, “Like any parent, you want your kids to get along — not just get along, but in effect be best friends. All three of our kids are, in fact, best friends. Kirk’s biggest fans are Kyle and Karalyne.” However, if stats are to be believed, one sibling has been a great help to the quarterback during games.

A familial lucky charm for Kirk Cousins

It is not just Kyle Cousins who helps his younger brother win games. Kyle with two of his friends, Ross Verwys and Eric Huizenga, is a part of the self proclaimed “Crushing the Capital” trio. If Kyle is to be believed, Kirk Cousins has not lost a single home game in the presence of the trio.

The first unexpected victory happened when Cousins was in college with the Redskins. What’s more surprising is the fact that he was a backup for the game that initiated ‘the CTC’ trio. Robert Griffin III endured an injury with two minutes on the clock, and to the trio’s and everyone else’s surprise, Kirk Cousins took over an 8 point lead within 36 seconds thanks to a TD pass and a 2-point conversion.

But it is not just the trio that believes in their power, even Kirk Cousins himself seems to agree. The QB stated, “The games where I’ve played, we’ve won, so we joke that there’s something there. For whatever reason, their visits have sparked some big wins.”

What is your opinion? Do you think the CTC’s presence is a help to Kirk Cousins?
