It should come as no surprise a Redskins rookie quarterback rallied his team to victory on Sunday. What is a surprise is the rookie is Kirk Cousins.

But just who is Kirk Cousins? Aside from a 2012 fourth round pick from Michigan State?

Well, you can learn a lot from a man from reading his Twitter feed. And it turns out, he really knows his movies.

Home Alone on ABC Family right now. What a great movie.—

And he sure moved like Kevin McCallister when he tied up the game on a two-point conversion. Dare we say, the Ravens channeled their inner Wet Bandit

Excited to meet Sinbad tonight! "Houseguest" is an all time favorite, not to mention "Jingle All the Way" and "First Kid".—

Sinbad is great. The best part about him? He does clean comedy. You don’t see that (expletive) anymore.

Just saw "Man on a Ledge" for the first time. Wow! That was an awesome movie.—
Kirk Cousins (@KirkCousins8) July 09, 2012

Wait, what?

When around my bro, its hard to go more than 2 days w/out quoting lines from "Houseguest" or "Trapped in Paradise". They're family favorites—
Kirk Cousins (@KirkCousins8) July 03, 2012

Yes, you like Sinbad, we get it. But then again, anything with Phil Hartman is great.

I'm hearing good things about the Avengers movie. Gonna have to see it later this week.—

He might have undersold this movie. He probably was like, “Yeah, we kind of won a big game on Sunday.”

I feel there are certain movies that are on TV all the time & Con-Air is one of them. Also, any of the Pirates or Legally Blonde movies—
Kirk Cousins (@KirkCousins8) May 12, 2012

Yes, because “Con-Air” is awesome. The only thing more implausible than Cousins’ rally on Sunday might have been that a guy landed a plane on the Las Vegas strip and didn’t kill anybody.

I love the Temptations movie. I watch at least 2 songs every time it comes on TV. @_MarkDell @BjCunningham_03—

Wait, is he talking about this?

Just saw the end of Ocean's 11 on TV. Tess: "We need to get Rusty a girl" Rusty: "There's a women's prison down the road" Ha! #favoritemovie—

Yes, Ocean’s 11 is very strong and it is a great film. But can anybody ever explain how they got the adult fliers down into the vault?

And now, Cousins goes through some “Happy Gilmore” quotes.

"Next up on the tee-box……Mr. Gilmore, Happy and Mr. Lafferty, Daniel." #happygilmorequotes—

"Harness good, block bad. Feel the flow, like a carousel. Up, down, round and round. All good things, all good things." #happygilmorequotes—

"I believe that jacket belongs to Mr. Gilmore!" #happygilmorequotes—

I think the last one was the actual play call on the two-point conversion.
