He makes the interviewers think for a second sometimes cause how intelligent his responses are and how he gives full answers. Minnesota got a top 5 qb in 3 years
He sounds like a bright kid, let's hope his playing skills are as bright and he can be our true franchise QB for many years to come. And most importantly, bringing that Super Bowl trophy to MN!
I gotta say this kid is special! He has the maturity and wisdom that is years ahead of his time! Definitely doesn't sound like your normal 21 year old to me.
Congrats there JJ on all of your previous success and being drafted to the Vikings! I LOVE your mindset! Keep working and you will achieve everything you can dream! I have never bought a MN Viking QB jersey until now. I just recently ordered the Winter Warrior JJ McCarthy jersey and I can't wait to wear it!! Let's go get several Super Bowls!!! SKOL!!!
Mark my words, he'll be the best and most winning QB of this draft. The level of maturity he has at only 21 is amazing...and that goes a long way in the professional world. How many amazing "athletes" who haven't showed much maturity have come to the NFL at the QB position and just failed miserably?
@@nathanlawson313 I don’t care about what someone won in Highschool. Trevor Lawrence was a 1,000 better pro prospect than JJ and look how below average his career has been
@@StillKeepOnLosing FAR FROM THE TRUTH! The depth chart at this point means NOTHING. Also, it was the PLAN to allow JJ to sit and learn without feeling forced. Darnold balling out would be our best case scenario. Then maybe we could franchise tag and trade him next year! He will without a doubt be OUR QB next year and beyond. I could go on and on but like I said.. SKOL🙏🏾
3:07 honestly, I agree, hope you have an amazing season JJ! If CJ can get the Houston Texans to the divisional round, you’ll do just fine if Jets is there
So here's my story. I have been a GoBlue fan/man for 35 years. When TB12 became starter for the Pats i become a Patriots fan. Then a Buccaneers fan. Now, i am a Detroit Lion fan because of Hutch. I will be a Vikings fan once JJ takes the helm. Also, a first time Chargers fan because of good ol' Harbaugh. Can't wait to see how this young man's career plays out. Cant wait for the season. Be safe everyone!!
Love, Jonathan James McCarthy…. I’m, “Go Blue” through and through…. But you I can’t have beating my, Detroit Lions… Flat out! #OnePride✊🏾🦁💙 #GoBlue✊🏾💛💙
You guys are getting the best QB in the draft. I’m a huge Michigan football plus a JJ fan. I hope he does great things for you Vikings fans just not when he’s playing my Lions.
Impressive kid... it's the Vikings, so my optimism is hard to tap into after 50 years of heartbreak and disappointments...but maybe he's going to be one of the pieces that finally gets the Vikes to the promised land. Just one before I die, guys, just one.
As a Michigan/Lions fan im finding it awkward to see JJ play for the Vikes. That said, I'm glad he landed in a good situation. Ill be a fan until yall play Detroit
@@gone4days956J.J McCarthy better be play this year because I don’t want to see Sam Darnold play because he is the worst quarterback and J.J McCarthy is way better than Sam Darnold because he can take us undefeated to the super bowl win for the first time like he did for Michigan Wolverines as winning the championship of undefeated.
@@nikkicovington6389 I love your enthusiasm, but why would you want a player on the team you love to fail just for the Possibility of another player to be better. I do agree that JJ will be better than Sam, but I'm telling you with 100% certainty that JJ will not be the week 1 starter, and even if Sam shits the bed week one, JJ will not be the week 2 starter. The only way I seriously see JJ taking over is 1) season ending injury to Sam or 2) Sam goes 0-5 with at least 3 blowout loses. Otherwise, JJ will see the field only if the Vikings are in a blowout win, which lets be honest hasn't happened in like 4 years, so I don't expect it. JJ needs to work on his footwork, intermediate passes, escaping the pocket (which is different in the NFL, as ask defenders are multiple times quicker than college) and his decision making needs some work to. Don't get me wrong, I do think he is our franchise QB, but a Brady, or Mahomes doesn't happen every year. I'm realistic about the plan and reality that we didn't bring Sam in for one year to be a backup, nor did we pay him to be a 3-5 year starter. That's what bridge QB are, a bridge between the old (Cousins) and the New (McCarthy). I for one want the Vikings to be competitive no matter whose on the roster or who the QB is. I don't want to be like the Browns who historically have always had top 10 picks, because they suck, and still can't compete for playoffs and end up with another top 10 or top5 pick but can never get a competitive team Even with all those first rounders on their team!
Can I tryout for the Vikings 🏈Practice Squad Like Adam Thielen did? I’m a local QB and would love to have a chance at the league. Also if all y’all got backing up this young man is what I saw last year… not impressed… #Skol Go Vikes #GMODT
How ironic the Lions finally get good and a Michigan not MSU but MICHIGAN ICON ends up in Minnesota….GO BLUE!….hard not to buy a JJ Vikings jersey. He’s THAT DUDE….
I don't want to see him play until 2026. I say this in a totally supportive manner. NFL QB is one of the hardest jobs on the planet. And I think 21 years old is too young to succeed (for most people - JJ included).
I just love how JJ is always laser focused on "the process" in literally every interview, that sets a foundation for great things. Skol!
He makes the interviewers think for a second sometimes cause how intelligent his responses are and how he gives full answers. Minnesota got a top 5 qb in 3 years

This kid is so intelligent! I love how careful he is with his answers.
SKOL, Good luck and do your best JJ 🍀 🏈 ! Thanks Gabe !!
What a wonderful young man!
Aloha Gabe. This was a great interview with JJ McCarthy as he's very well-grounded.
Is all you can think when watching JJ is “that dude is dedicated to his game” I’m so excited for the future for the Vikings.
Humble and very in tune with the source. This young man is going to be special. Namaste
Love that guy! Skol!

Haters gonna hate@@Unhappyjelly
It’s a long list of qbs being called mature because of their interviews who turned into bust
@@deesee2051 ...How many on that list were 53-3 as a starter in HS/College and won 3 National Championships before rookie NFL year?

Go Lions!!
So incredibly well spoken, mature, insightful. So nice to see from the rookie. Insane

Finally a quarterback with some charisma and swagger, dude is already on his way to be the leader.

I loveeeeeee him!!!!!!!! ❤🎉❤
This young man & his old soul is going to take our Vikings to multiple Super Bowls. Skol!

His attitude and maturity is very impressive! Hope it translates to a Lambardi with the Vikings! Lez Go!!
JJ⭐️💁⭐️SUPER😈BOWL💜💛HOMEBOY🏆🤞🏻🙏🏻
As a Michigan fan I never expected to see JJ chunk one in the dirt at the Twins game.
He didn't want to show up Turner. He's a true leader lol
He carries himself like a true star QB, hopefully his play on the field is just as good.
JJ⭐️💁⭐️SUPER😈BOWL💜💛HOMEBOY🏆🙏🏻
THAT'S MY QB!!!
happy Juneteenth!
The college handoff specialist that can't beat out 3 career backups? Oh boy... And ya traded up for him? RIP
@@StillKeepOnLosingThe hater that took the time to watch and comment about OUR QB and OBVIOUSLY don’t understand Vikings football🤦🏽♂️Anyways.. SKOL!!
@@PettyWithLove Is it true or is it not that he is behind 3 career backup? Ouch...

Trust me Viking fans. He will deliver and be an incredible QB.
I went to see him play last year, I know he's up next. I care about the vikings now 😅
Agree. 100%.

Wise but young. Excellent.
I'm in love with this guy
I’m a bears fan, but as a Michigan fan I really hope McCarthy works out. Love the kid

JJ I THINK WE CAN FIND YOU AN OPEN RINK HERE IN MN SOMETIME MAYBE DURING AN OFF WEEK
He straight up sounds like KOC
5:01 When your dad says no Happy Meal for today.
He’s good one! Get ready Minnesota!
Bliss!❤ As always SKOL
Reminds me of KOC
Love jj so much
Looking forward to watching this young man play. Skol!!
He might be the one that gets us a you know what.

Love this interview
JJ's got his head on straight, thats half the battle as a QB.
Kids half my age and has a better mentality than me… welp ig its never to late to change
The Falcons are going to be kicking themselves in the ass for passing on JJ.
ok ok, he's a hockey guy.....he's going to fit in just fine.
Impressive kid... it's the Vikings, so my optimism is hard to tap into after 50 years of heartbreak and disappointments...but maybe he's going to be one of the pieces that finally gets the Vikes to the promised land. Just one before I die, guys, just one.

Anybody else notice Jj sounds EXACTLY like KOC?
Love it ❤❤🙏🙏
I hope his practices rub off on the other players! He is a winner!💜💜💜💜💜💜
The ICEMAN should really be his nickname for reals. Watch out for JJ The ICEMAN!
JJ⭐️💁⭐️SUPER😈BOWL💜💛HOMEBOY🏆🙏🏻
JJ pulled an MJ on Purdue when they messed with his routine. He took that personally. Lol
I was just in Minnesota at the mall of America a week ago. I was looking at everyone to see if i may stumble across j.j. no luck.
Let's go 9!!!!!!
He better be the future
Iceman...... I like it

Hellz yeah.. im calling him 9 then. That settles it.
💜💜💜💜💜
He great
Sounds like taxi cab confessions, Minnesota Viking’s style.
Team Work
Hard Work
And getting past that "
"Minnesota Curse"
The struggle is real!!

Hopefully he shows out on preseason lol
Great guy, but Sam is QB1, and is going to light up the NFL. Mark this post.
I can’t wait for the season to start because we are going to have QB J.J McCarthy and WR Justin Jefferson as JJ to JJ
QB JJ ain’t playing this year.
