"He's done a phenomenal job game-planning all season, barely getting any sleep day in and day out to make sure he has the best possible game plan, understands the defense that he's attacking inside and out and getting guys in a position to be successful," quarterback Kirk Cousins said Jan. 2, per
Chris Lingebach of CBS DC.
"I could be here a long time talking about Sean's help in my development and his ability to call plays for our offense and lead our offense. In the 2015 offseason I was coming off a year when I had been benched halfway through and was going into the next year with the chance to really only compete as a backup. I was a little disappointed with that and Sean was a great encourager through that process, challenging me to stay the course. I think his belief in me and his support and his encouragement was what enabled me to eventually have the opportunities that I had." -Kirk Cousins
