Minnesota Vikings rookie JJ McCarthy was unlucky to have one of his poor passes shown on ESPN this weekend.

 

The former Michigan quarterback is participating in his team’s rookie minicamp and was shown making a throw on said network’s ‘NFL Live.’ Unfortunately for the rook, it was not his best work, and he’s been getting trolled over it.

An Ohio fan posted a recording of the throw to Twitter/X along with the caption, “JJ McCarthy looks great in rookie minicamp.”

Of course, it’s easy to see why a Buckeyes fan would jump at the opportunity to show McCarthy delivering a bad pass after how things turned out last season.

JJ McCarthy Was Feeling Great After His First Day

JJ McCarthy had many other users tweet in his defense, with many of them pointing out that one errant pass during practice isn’t much to go by.

A report from ESPN also noted that the QB made some impressive throws later in the day.

“It didn’t feel like my first day,” he told the publication. “I’ve been going over the offense for a long time now. So being able to [go] out there and perform and execute, that’s new, but it was nothing that was overwhelming or too much.”

Let’s see what his first season with the Vikings looks like.

Justin Jefferson had been an advocate for the team, keeping Kirk Cousins, but he would leave the team and sign with the Atlanta Falcons this offseason.

According to NFL Network, the Minnesota Vikings star receiver reportedly wanted to know the team’s plans at quarterback before he committed to a long-term deal.

Now, it just remains to be seen how much the Vikings will shell out in an extension to keep Jefferson around.

VIDEO: Travis Kelce Reveals Strange Nickname He Has For Harrison Butker As He Breaks His Silence On Chiefs Kicker’s Polarizing Comments

Travis Kelce has finally broken his silence on Harrison Butker’s comments while revealing what he calls his teammate.

Butker, the Kansas City Chiefs kicker, sparked outrage around the country with his comments regarding what he believes a woman’s role in the family should be. The three-time Super Bowl winner was speaking to the graduating class at Benedictine College earlier this month when he urged the females to embrace the homemaker vocation.

Kelce, one of the most outspoken players in the NFL, took his time to respond, but what he said was pretty wholesome.

The Chiefs tight end spoke up in Butker’s defense on Friday while on his ‘New Heights’ podcast with his brother Jason.

Travis made sure to note that he didn’t agree with most of what “Harry” said, revealing he’s probably the only one who calls Butker by the nickname. But he also pointed out that the player’s views won’t and shouldn’t impact their relationship.

“I’ve known him for seven-plus years probably, eight-plus years,” he said, “and I cherish him as a teammate.”
