Fooch's note: Whatever it takes to recruit Kirk Cousins, right?

Today Kirk Cousins came to my school, Liberty University, to discuss his faith in Jesus Christ. I found out about his visit yesterday, and went to the store to make a poster board, and showed up early this morning to get front row seats. I wore my Patrick Willis jersey and made sure the sign was right up in front and clearly visible for Kirk to see. It read: "Kirk, come to the 49ers! we got Shanahan & $$$." Well, Kirk did notice the sign, and gave me very positive feedback , pointing at me, smiling, and nodding his head vigorously. My take was that he was giving me a very subtle but strong message, whether he knew it or not, that he was very interested in coming to the 49ers.

Also, during the event Kirk was asked about his contract situation. You may find his answer interesting. He said he did not feel peace about signing long term with the Redskins this past year and indicated that it may have been because they only offered him a 3 year contract. But this is only me guessing.

Here is a link to the event that happened this morning:

@ 2:52 – announcer points out my sign and Kirk looks, sees it, and points at me

@ 3:37 - 3:38 – Kirk is looking at me, pointing at me, and smiling.

@ 13:40 - Kirk is asked about his contract situation and indicates that he did not feel good about signing long term with the Redskins, and possibly alludes to a "3 year contract" that may have been what they offered him.

And here is me and my sign after the event.
