Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy met briefly with reporters after the team’s OTAs on Wednesday. One reporter commented on his preparation and that he looks “faster and stronger” than last offseason, which McCarthy agreed with. He cited his workout regimen along with the rehab he’s done for a torn meniscus, which derailed his rookie campaign for all of the 2024 season.

“I would say just naturally, age, you know? Being able to be here the entire offseason, work out five days a week and consistently stack those days because over time it’s (going to) show up (in) how I feel right now. But we still have a lot more to go with that and I’m excited to continue that process.”

McCarthy also detailed his tireless work with the playbook and his ability to stay in the right mindset throughout his time off. He is expected to begin the season free from restrictions and is chomping at the bit to show how his preparation has paid off.
