Daunte chimes in:
Former Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper says J.J. McCarthy will be "a master"
The man responsible for one of the greatest quarterback seasons in Minnesota Vikings history is effusive about the team's future at the position.
Daunte Culpepper recently sat down with WCCO's Mike Max and gave his thoughts about J.J. McCarthy, the first-round pick
set to take the reins in 2025.
"I saw him at practice last week and he looks great," Culpepper said. "He has that it factor, I always say, he has it. And I can see it in his eyes, he's ready to go out and tear it up."
McCarthy is the highest drafted QB in Vikings history — 10th overall, one pick higher than Culpepper was taken in 1999. Expectations are high for the sophomore passer, who missed his entire rookie season due to injury. He steps into a great situation with a rebuilt offensive line, one of the game's best playcallers in
head coach Kevin O'Connell and a dangerous suite of skill players, including all-world receiver
Justin Jefferson.
"I think it won't be a hard transition for him in the NFL," Culpepper said. "As long as we keep him healthy and keep him off the ground, with those weapons around him, I see great things."
