J.J. McCarthy might not see the field in 2024 due to Sam Darnold while the Minnesota Vikings bring along their rookie quarterback. The No. 10 overall pick out of Michigan is seen as the future of the franchise, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. However, Minnesota and head coach Kevin O’Connell are high on Darnold, a former No. 3 overall pick. Darnold has untapped potential per Fowler, and that’ll allow McCarthy to develop in Year 1. “And you got JJ McCarthy so the Vikings have a detailed plan for him,” Fowler said on SportsCenter. “Obviously the long term starter and he played a lot of games ...

JJ McCarthy is pretty simple when it comes to his expectations as a rookie quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. While he wasn’t anointed the starter right away, there’s no question Minnesota sees the former Michigan QB as the future of the franchise. For now, it’s just about getting better one day at a time, as cliche as that sounds. McCarthy put it all in perspective despite coming off an undefeated season and national championship with the Wolverines. “The only expectations I put on myself is to know the playbook inside and out, to be the best teammate I could possibly be ,show up and work...

The dog days of summer are hitting and NFL rookies are popping up at MLB ballparks across the country to throw out some ceremonial first pitches. On Tuesday, the pair of Minnesota Vikings first round selections — quarterback J.J. McCarthy and edge rusher Dallas Turner — took the mound before a Minnesota Twins game. It didn’t go well for either, as Turner apparently airmailed his throw and McCarthy, caught on video, spiked his pitch into the left handed batters box. Not a promising omen for Vikings fans hoping to see McCarthy dotting throws on the money to Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and C...

While there’s no shortage of plays that he looks back on fondly from the 2023 national championship season for Michigan, new head coach Sherrone Moore does have a few that stand out. And naturally, they involve his team executing in big moments. One, though, stands above the rest, and it came when Moore was serving as the acting head coach on game days. The play in question: The halfback pass from Donovan Edwards to Colston Loveland for a first down to open the 4th quarter against Ohio State. The Wolverines led, 24-17, at the time and Edwards’ connection to Loveland moved Michigan into Buckeye...

Tweets Of The DayFormer Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy — the No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft — just wrapped up minicamp and OTAs with the Minnesota Vikings. McCarthy is in a quarterback room with Sam Darnold and Nick Mullens, most notably, and will compete for the starting quarterback job. McCarthy has been studying his play book and getting the offense down — and that’s about the extent of his expectations for his rookie campaign, to control what he can about his preparation and play. The former Michigan national champion was asked about his offseason plans during a media sessio...

When the Minnesota Vikings traded up one spot in the 2024 NFL Draft and selected J.J. McCarthy with the No. 10 overall pick, it was safe to assume that the former Michigan quarterback would be the quarterback of the future for the Vikings. But maybe not the immediate future. At OTAs, Minnesota head coach Kevin O’Connell was recently asked who would currently be the team’s starter under center. Labeling newly signed quarterback Sam Darnold as the top guy at the moment for the Vikings. “We haven’t had to put out a depth chart or anything like that, but yeah, I would say Sam would be the guy I wo...

Sherrone Moore will never forget Michigan’s game-tying drive against Alabama in the Rose Bowl. Of course, the Wolverines went on to win the game and eventually the national championship against Washington. Now, Moore can reflect on that moment while looking ahead as the team’s new head coach. But the Wolverines got the proverbial monkey off their backs by winning it all last season. It’ll be a moment forever etched in history. “Yeah, two instances will always be held forever in my mind,” Moore told Joel Klatt on Big Noon Conversations. “Really three, so before that drive, I’m never really nerv...

Kevin O’Connell is confident in the quarterback battle between Sam Darnold and first round pick J.J. McCarthy. While the latter is seen as the future of the team and the franchise quarterback, Darnold’s been around the block a bit. Either way, O’Connell loves competition because it brings the best out of all positions, not just quarterback. “Yeah, I think we want to create a competitive environment really at all positions,” O’Connell said on Mad Dog Sports Radio. “We really want to do that because I do believe that brings out the best in your entire roster and that’s not just position battles ...

The 2024 season like a big renovation project for the Vikings, what with the loss of quarterback Kirk Cousins and sack master Danielle Hunter. They signed Sam Darnold, a one-time first rounder, as a potential replacement for Cousins. Or maybe he’s a placeholder until former Michigan star J.J. McCarthy gets settled. Minnesota selected McCarthy with the 10th pick of the first round back in late April. He was the fifth quarterback off the board. Whomever emerges as the starting quarterback can lean on receiver Justin Jefferson, who now is the highest-paid receiver in NFL history. Cynthia Frelund,...

J.J. McCarthy had a lot thrown at him early in Vikings minicamp but it’s all in preparation, according to head coach Kevin O’Connell. After Kirk Cousins departed in free agency this spring, the Vikings used the No. 10 pick on the former Michigan signal caller as their new franchise quarterback. Going from a national title winning team to a Minnesota squad that’s loaded on offense is a nice transition. But O’Connell wanted McCarthy to get his feet wet first. “Yeah we you know we were keeping it pretty tight for right now as a group, but JJ is getting a little bit extra here and there,” O’Connel...
