J.J. MCCARTHY MAKES BIG MOVE FOR VIKINGS

The Minnesota Vikings selected Michigan Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft undoubtedly hoping that he will be their new franchise quarterback. And it sounds like he’s already putting in the extra work required to make that a possibility.

This week, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell revealed that J.J. McCarthy went to the team’s practice field early to walk through plays on his own in preparation for running them with teammates.

“And not because anybody told him to,” O’Connell said according to ESPN. “But he’s trying to have the best possible day that he can today and then try to do the same thing tomorrow. This guy is a process-driven guy and understands that there’s a long road ahead of him, that we’re just trying to make incremental gains that will be solidified as part of how he plays quarterback for a long time. So I’ve been really impressed with him so far and look forward to get another full day tomorrow.”

Obviously, this is a pretty good sign for the Vikings that McCarthy is willing to put in this work by himself to make sure that he is prepared. We’ll have to see how he performs for the team.
