Given the he's the highest quarterback ever selected by the Vikings in franchise history, some notable figures want to see him in action immediately.
The Minnesota Vikings selected quarterback JJ McCarthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, making him the highest QB ever selected by the franchise. Given how successful 21-year old rookie has been throughout his young career, it's no surprise that the expectations are considerably high for McCarthy in Minnesota. But heading into training camp, there is still some uncertainly when it comes to his place on the depth chart.
During the off-season, Minnesota also brought in veteran QB Sam Darnold from the San Francisco 49ers, and the reporting from training camp suggests that Darnold is the current favorite to be the starter this upcoming season. Although Darnold clearly provides a level of professional experience that McCarthy doesn't yet have, there are some who believe the rookie QB needs to be on the field immediately - including former Viking Hall-of-Fame wideout Randy Moss.
That's a pretty strong statement from a guy who was extremely successful in the league, and its one that will certainly resonate among the Vikings fan base. With training camp set to begin in less than two weeks, there's no doubt that all eyes will be on the QB battle between Darnold and McCarthy.
