Kirk Cousins is settling in nicely with Raiders Nation, but fans are still getting to know the veteran quarterback. After all, joining a new team means there's always a little bit of a learning curve, even for a player as experienced as Cousins.

So, the Las Vegas Raiders are getting to know Cousins and his family, including his wife Julie Hampton Cousins. She's been supportive of him through all the changes that the NFL brings.

Now that the Raiders are 2-0 after the first two weeks of the NFL season, there's even more reason for fans to want to know the guy behind the quarterback helmet. Winning tends to make fans curious, and suddenly, those little personal details become a lot more exciting.
