J.J. McCarthy conveyed his determination to earn the starting quarterback position for the Minnesota Vikings during a recent interview. He expressed gratitude that the team has not confirmed his starting status, believing it's important to prove his capability daily. The Vikings are navigating a transition at quarterback after their previous starter, Sam Darnold, signed a lucrative contract elsewhere. Despite exploring options, including veteran Aaron Rodgers, the team has decided to prioritize McCarthy for upcoming OTAs and minicamps, leaving the door open for future discussions with Rodgers if available.
"And I'm happy they didn't, because I try to earn it every single day. And I never want that to be given to me."
"The quarterback position remains in flux for the Vikings, who decided against using the franchise tag on 2024 starter Sam Darnold."
