If you were wondering what the often-criticized, highly-talented, potentially misunderstood and assuredly ornery DeMarcus Cousins has been up to since the Rio Olympics ended, you now have an answer: unleashing his angst and aggression on over matched safeties and linebackers on the gridiron.
Okay that is not actually true in reality, but in the fantasy world of Madden 17 someone decided to make Cousins and all of his 6’11. 270 lb. glory into a dominating running back on the Raiders (the perfect team for Cousins). The result is him swatting off defenders like flies and trampling his way to the end zone.

Virtual Madden version of Cousins does lack some authenticity without his tattoos I must admit. This reminds me of another trending internet video at the moment…

Cousins definitely seems more suited to be a nasty defensive tackle if we are being realistic about a football crossover for Boogie, but watching videos of a 7’0″ running back supposed to be DeMarcus Cousins annihilating defenders on Madden is a fun way to pass the time in the dog days of the NBA off-season.
