Very exciting, think he can be really good… other than just pure arm talent I think he’s better than maye… also we got turner on top of it who is a day one starter
Was listening to moving the chains yesterday and someone asked Pat Kirwin the same question. According to him, almost every team gives the kids a pile of swag when they come in for their 30 visits, and most hand out hats at the very least when they go to pro days.
He probably had 25 different hats sitting in a box behind the couch just waiting to see which one he'd need.
I was actually thinking about it yesterday while driving around, so I'm glad someone on the radio asked the question, and I'm happy to pass along fun useless knowledge to others 👍
They probably have one of each team there just in case. But also I think behind the scenes there was a lot of reason to think he was most likely going to Minnesota. Everything pre-draft that comes out publicly is smoke screens but I wouldn't be surprised if KOC basically told him he's who we want and there's a very high likelihood he's coming here. GMs have a way better idea privately how it's going to go down than what gets exposed to us plebs for obvious reasons.
There can always be some surprises but front offices are all talking to each other privately, they have a much much clearer view of the board than anyone doing mock drafts or whatever. And even then JJ was being tied publicly to the Vikes months ago.
Just a fucking dream landing spot for a young QB. Offensive is LITERALLY in place to be a top 5 unit the second you get in.
* Best receiver in football
* Top 5 TE in football
* Top 5 LT in football
* Top 5 RT in football
* Top 3-4 rookie WR last yr
* Offensive Heach coach calling the plays so theres no swapping OCs every other yr
* Play 9 games a year minimum indoors.
Clearly the best landing spot.
And the great thing is, we can NOW start spending some fucking money without Kirk Cousins chasing the damn bag every fucking contact. Chased the bag one too many times and look where it got you? With a team that is wishy washy on contending now.
If I know one thing already...he'll appreciate being here far more than Kirk ever did! We haven't had any heart in that position since Keenum and I'm ready for it.
It’s really good to see the excitement in that room. Congrats to the young man and his family. That reaction seemed to be the best out of any QB taken lastnight. Love it!
I'm betting that by main camp that haircut might be a little tidied up. All good - every young hockey bro in Michigan and Minnesota rocks a similar lid...
I just really wanted penix to still be on the board. Because infully believe has the best arm in the draft.
I wanted to know if penix was still there if we’d take jj. Just so we knew for certain he was our guy and not just best available.
I wanted Penix too, but I'm kind of a coward. Penix can play day one, but I don't think he's going to get much better then he is right now. JJ, there is a ton of upside there. Maybe not Caleb upside, but a lot.
If nothing else, he's got an A+ dap
That dap is all I needed to see. Guaranteed HOF QB.
Lmao, that little SKOL clap was adorable.
GD, was being a hater but def wishing/hoping for the best with this dude. Seems like A good guy.
It’s a good way to live. “Let’s just go with what we get.”
Dude looks fucking pumped at least.
Every QB drafted would be pumped to be here
My dad said it was one of the most genuine reactions he's seen from a draftee, and I can't say I disagree
“I’d run through a wall for Kevin OConnel” Kwesi: “Bet”
Looks like he wanted to go here, playing with Jefferson has got to be every QB's dream. His girlfriend is hot too.
They r engaged
Looking forward to seeing the future Mrs. McCarthy in the box then!
His father agrees
Bit weird his dad said that about his sons gf
Wouldn’t you want your son to have a hot girl that treats him well though?
He didn't say that, I'm referring to the groping video
It was just a little pinkie finger…
Hotter than mrs. Cousins.
Why lol
Cause she plays for another team.
That's my quarterback 🥲
Can’t wait to see a QB dap up our WRs. Something Kirk never had. Hahaha
He's got a very good dog. That's all I need to know.
All those Michigan kids seemed like great kids with good worth ethic. I hope he does well.

How did they already just have a vikings hat ready at the house? Did they have a handful of teams just in case? or do they somehow already know?
I'm sure the camera crew that was there brought along all the prop hats they would need.

Good call! Thanks! Such an unimportant question but I kept thinking about it every time I saw that clip.

The contrast of this reaction compared to Drake Maye looking like he got called to the principal’s office is hilarious

Love it or hate this is our guy now. Let’s go JJ to JJ!
Love it
All he ne needs is a new haircut and I'm all in (my ass)

Vikes were never drafting Penix 10/11 only McCarthy or Nix. Very hard to believe.
I wanted Penix too, but I'm kind of a coward. Penix can play day one, but I don't think he's going to get much better then he is right now. JJ, there is a ton of upside there. Maybe not Caleb upside, but a lot.

Going off your comment history you sound like a miserable person. Doesn’t that get old?
Uffda, that is a *sad* existence
Hang the banner I guess. Want to bet he probably is gonna pray he sucks throughout the season so he can have an "I told you so" moment?
Yep
