Conversion Vans Are the Vehicles of Choice for NFL Quarterbacks This Season

Look at Kirk Cousins out here smiling like he just won the starting job for Washington. He's not worrying about how he plays for a team with a racist name. His mind isn't cluttered with thoughts about how people only pay attention to RGIII. He's just enjoying life, driving a conversion van, like every great man should at one point or another (from personal experience, it changes you). 

Cousins actually purchased the van off of his grandmother, after she decided that she no longer needed it, and he plans to use it as a vehicle for when people come to D.C. to visit and see him play. After all, you can't carry luggage and a group of friends or family in a Ferrari or Bentley.

This news comes just days after Jay Cutler started the trend this past week, pulling up to training camp in a van, as well:

#Bears Matt Forte (driving white Bentley) on Jay Cutler's white conversion van: "I hope I can play some video games in it after practice!"

We're willing to bet those video games are probably Sega Dreamcast and a set of GameBoys with connector links for Pokemon Red and Blue battles.
