Kirk Cousins shook up the NFL on Monday when he announced that he was headed to the Atlanta Falcons after days of rumors and speculation.
Many Falcons fans were understandably elated by the news.
One of those fans was superstar point guard Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks, who celebrated the big news on Twitter with plenty of emojis and the message of: “Falcons Litt!!!”

Young shared the sentiment of many others who think that Cousins could provide a huge benefit for the Falcons.
It’s curious that Young is publicly praising this move considering he might not even be living in Atlanta during the next NFL season.
Since last season, there has been a lot of speculation about what’s next for Young.
The Hawks have undergone some big changes over the last few years, adding more talent on the roster like Dejounte Murray and a new head coach in Quin Snyder.
Despite that and Young’s immense talent, the Hawks are still struggling and currently sit as the tenth seed in the East with a 29-35 record.
There have been growing rumors of Young leaving the Hawks this summer.
He could head west to play with the Los Angeles Lakers or maybe back to his home state of Texas to play with the San Antonio Spurs.
Apparently, the Spurs are very intrigued by the idea of pairing Young with rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama.
The bottom line is that the future for Young is very murky and there is a big chance that he’s not playing for the Hawks next season.
But he is clearly a Falcons fan and loves the big move they just made.
He will be rooting the team on when the NFL comes back, but will he be rooting them on in Atlanta or another location?
