NFL Quarterback Worth Millions Stuns Fans With Budget-Friendly Move originally appeared on Parade.
In a world where NFL stars sometimes flaunt flashy lifestyles, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins is keeping things refreshingly real and relatable.
The 36-year-old QB, who has earned well over $200 million during his career, gave fans a peek into his simple grooming routine during Season 2 of Quarterback, the hit Netflix docuseries that premiered July 8.
But the moment that really stole the show? Cousins casually strolling into a Great Clips for his signature trim.
Check out the TikTok video from Netflix Sports:
No glam squad, no frills, just a straight-to-the-point “1 with a fade up,” delivered as smoothly as one of his quick-release passes. To make sure the stylist nails it, he even pulls up his NFL roster headshot as a reference. As Cousins jokes, “It’s hard to have a go-to barber when you’re always on the go.” So true!

This down-to-earth approach matches Kirk Cousins’ reputation as one of the most grounded guys in the league. Even with a current $180 million deal and years of play under his belt, the Michigan State alum still goes where convenience and reliable service meet.
And Great Clips noticed. On July 9, they announced Cousins as a new inductee into their new “Hall of Fade,” presenting him with a VIP card that comes with free haircuts for life.
Even better? Anytime Cousins walks in for a cut, everyone else in the salon gets a free haircut, too. Now, that’s a team win!
It’s a fun reminder that no matter how many millions you’ve made, sometimes there’s nothing better than convenience and a reliable fade.
