Vikings rookie QB J.J. McCarthy expected to challenge Sam Darnold in preseason opener
In the Vikings’ preseason opener, rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy must perform well to catch up to Sam Darnold and secure the starting position. Darnold will start but McCarthy will also receive playing time. Darnold has been getting most of the first-team reps in training camp, with McCarthy only receiving two. Vikings’ star receiver Justin Jefferson believes Darnold has an edge in touch and accuracy, while McCarthy is more of a gunner. McCarthy has the opportunity to showcase his skills against the Raiders. Darnold has had a mediocre career so far, and McCarthy’s performance could determine his future as the franchise’s quarterback.
