There is definitely something special about this kid. You can tell he has elite leadership traits. Thats extremely important.
He’s a bum go bears
@@Nate-ce2hn he'll end up being better than Caleb. Book it.
@@kelefane6233 sweepin y’all this year fs
@Nate-ce2hn Goodluck with that, lol.
@@kelefane6233 it’s about to be a joy watchin jj try to throw to jj but it gets intercepted by the real JJ
Purple Kool Aid is flowing through my veins for the first time since 2017
Bruh 🤣🤣🤣
Mainline it please
I know. My thoughts as well. After 2017 it was all false hope and a downhill slide.
Hopefully they can draft Koolaid Miminstry
Let’s draft “Kool Aid”! I love purple Kool Aid in the 5 pack
Just the maturity is insane from a 21 yo
Yes, are you like me and you couldn't imagine yourself being able to talk like this when you were 21?
Yea ikr. JJ is years ahead of his time! The guys mature as hell for his age.
I think he has good parents/family
Dude said he got his life together in the 5th grade 😂😭.
This kid was speaking this well as a true freshman at Michigan - you guys got yourselves a hell of a player! Michigan fan here but fully believe he’s the next Brady
JJ to JJ...TDs all day
JJ to Jets
This right here.
i cant believe the vikings drafted the greatest QB of all time
I cant believe we have Tom Brady 2.0, a dream come true.
@@pillowbuggthat maybe true, time will tell
If he's as good as Tommy Kramer I will be happy. If he's as bad as Christian Ponder I will not be happy
@@valentinareed4321Tommy Kramer will be belly up to Kelly’s bar in Centerville tonight and every night
@@pillowbuggI’m absolutely rock-hard rn, he’s perfect 😢
Seems like a humble kid that is ready to put in the work. Feel like KOC is going to unlock a whole new level to his game 😎
The kid is special and a true leader. You got a winner for sure. I won't be able to root for him when he plays the Lions though.
This dude is 21 years old and is more of an adult than me
To be fair he got people to handle most the stuff we gotta handle in life lmao
Lame people 😂
@@grafoleon just a blessing we all wish we had.
But you're only 22. So you have time.
He’s super polished and seems genuine. I can see why his teammates gravitate to him.
Wishing you both a long and successful healthy career
NFL scout on JJ McCarthy: “BEFORE he signed, he was telling other Michigan recruits that if they wanted to party and chase girls, go somewhere else. His class was going to be the one that restored Michigan. To have that mentality and then actually go achieve it? He's different.”
🙌🙌 doesn’t understand the hate for the guy, he’s a good guy and a winner. Everyone thinks they know the future.
Also, after Michigan lost to Wisconsin 49-11 in 2020 J.J. (who was at the game on his own dime) sent a tweet to the Michigan fan base telling them to take three breaths and have faith. Faith that everyone involved with Michigan football is doing everything possible to become great.
I wish some virgin ass player would tell me if I wanna go to that school dont chase bitches and go to parties Ahahaha thatz the only reason to be at A college TF
JJ is the truth. It’s going to be hard rooting against him. Go Blue!
Hearing him speak... I'm sold. Lead us to the promised land young man!
Lions fan here this kid is going to be a star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the Vikings got a steal....
🙌 Lions too with Terrion Arnold. The NFC North is getting scary 😱
@@sheena9904I cheered when the Lions jumped in front of the Packers to snag him. Great move.
NFC north about to be the toughest division lol
@Jose_bello_Jr it has been a pretty strong division for awhile now, each team just hasn't been Good Enough. That's sports baby!
NFC north is going to be a blood bath. Every team got better
Crazy how mature and wise JJ sounds for a 21 year old
Most exciting draft that I can remember.
He’s well spoken, confident, and there’s that mysterious thing called charisma that he exudes. Very promising
Damn it’s good to be a Viking fan right now
He’s 21 years old? His poise and comport is off the charts.
Michigan man your bless to have him 🙏🏿 good luck JJ thanks for the memories always Blue
@@anitafoxworth6564dude only lost like 1 or 2 games his entire college career his numbers are crazy
27-1 as a starter. That loss was to TCU in CFP.
I’m a Damn Lions fan watching your press conference 😂😂😂, says all you need to know. Kid is a warrior and his team fights for him……he didn’t throw a lot because Harbaugh is classic ground and pound time of possession guy. Don’t let that fool you, kid can flat out throw like a mad man…..which scares the hell out of me.
As a lions/Michigan fan I unfortunately think it's over for the lions 😭
All of his stats are from quarters 1-3 too. Michigan was always ahead by so much that they pulled him early consistently.
@@Thebiggooseegg Yep, people always like to “know” a players legit from stat padding. This kid never cared, only thing he cared about was “crowning” his own teammates.
Same. Always rooting for JJ, but am a Luons fan 💀. Go Blue!You guys are blessed to have JJ. He has one trait that doesn't show up on stat sheets - great leadership.
As a lions fan and a Michigan fan, you guys may be division rivals, but as a J.J. fan, take good care of him, and best of luck to you guys
🙌🙌 Lions fans. The NFC North is scary.
Thanks bro
I loved his response to being asked about being a winner. It’s a biproduct of what you do on a day to day basis. Truth, you just know he’s gonna be putting in that work
so sad to see JJ go. yall got a great one.
I like this kid. His work ethic alone will make him elite. This is the best i've felt about the future of my Vikes in 27 years
💯
Hello guys. Bengals fan here, but I am a Michigan fan, and I wanted you guys to draft JJ so bad! I respect your org and I think he is the perfect fit for you! And listening to this presser tells you exactly why he was a champion in college! I'm rooting for JJ and the Vikings! Who Dey always, but go Vikings too!
As a Michigan/Lions fan I feel weirdly happy for the Vikings
Hahaha I was pumped for the Lions and Bears too. Yes I wanna crush you, but I want that fiery competition!
The NFC north competition is going to be insane. Ever game is going to matter for the playoffs.
As a Vikings fan I’m proud we have the lions as competitors in our division finally, let’s team up against the packers lmao one of us HAS to win a superbowl this time
JJ will be show up on Tuesdays to put work in. He's a winner. Love this kid
Hey Vikes fans, you're going to fall in love with this kid for so many reasons. He's the real deal on and off the field....enjoy. The Vikings have a lot of new fans now.
This kid didn't miss a beat with the questions. it was extremely impressive . Reninds me of Brady for sure.
I am an Eagles fan, but I did think of Brady when he said I want to learn everybody’s names on the team. He seems to have poise, which was one of Brady’s best traits…him having hockey as a true love-to me in cherry on top if you live in Minnesota as well.
He communicates with Brady on the regular
@@leviwestphal4525 nice
Speed dial with Brady
Yeah they’re both Michigan men. Brady has always been there for JJ
Mature beyond his years. We are very blessed to have drafted him. Really think he will excellent nfl qb
Wow he's very well spoken and confident for his age. Can't wait to see him this season!
Dallas, if you read this, know that you’re amazing and we are beyond psyched to have you here! ❤️
As a Michigan fan I may be a bit biased but listening to JJ Mccarthy it's hard not to like him. I think that this was a great fit for both JJ and the vikings.
Michigan & Minnesota fan here, I am fired up to see this kid play! Purple & blue rolling through my veins right now!
That’s my mf quarterback!!!!!! Never been so excited about our qb situation
You literally had Dante Culpeper, Cunningham and absolute killers at the QB position. And you're excited about a 2000 yard passer lol
@@RobertRamsey-wd1zlshit has been dire for a long time man
Traits not stats
@@Ludzig you literally had a QB that's consistently thrown 4000 yards and 28 tds a season for a while.now. Didn't want to pay him and he left. So you draft a guy who wasn't even a top 30 QB in college and you're crazy excited about it ?
@@drakeoh2595 what traits does he have ? Strongest arm? Nope, quick release? Nope. Arm talent? No . Top end QB speed? Nope . There's a reason why they were run first at Michigan, it's because he's not capable. Coach knows that .... everyone knows it besides for Minnesotas desperate ass. And unfortunately....stats equate to wins . This is the NFL not college where you play 4-5 fluff games a season. QBs who struggle to throw 200 yards a game don't do well in the NFL.
Already starting to sound like KOC behind the mic. Love to see it
Underneath that humble smile is a madman who is unwilling to lose. Minnesota, you have been blessed with this QB, from a Michigan fan who watched him grow
Great post!
im glad we got a midwest kid
edit: also seems like Metullus is a great leader calling the new guys right away. Hell yeah
Yes indeed. Don't want a diva, just want a QB who actually cares about the Superbowl.
Welcome boys! Happy to have yall!
8:55 "It's gonna be a fun ride" I've heard the greatest Viking ever say that before too. Love it!
Christian Ponder?
@@delvictor7570it was Randy Moss.
@@OnlyXythra Pretty sure it was Troy Williamson.
Don't recall Cris Carter saying that.
@@Skazellino That’s because it was Fred Smoot.
Is it me or does our young QB sound a lot like our head coach
He fits right into the culture. Hope he’s a stud
KOC and JJ are gonna be like Belichick and Brady😮😮😮
ong he does😭
He sounds exactly like him lol
Yes even look alike
Welcome these 2 guys in the Vikings team Skol best of luck to you guys can't wait to see them in purple and yellow 😊Skol
"A perfect fit for them too" love what this quote implies. The others went to teams they didn't prefer. Love that the Vikings are looked at as a good org. to be a part of right now.
SKOL to the bowl purple reign in control
Purple reign? How many Super Bowls have yall won??
@@Macattack11639 just kings of the north not the NFL...yet SKOL 💜
JJ is gonna thrive in that Vikings offense. Jefferson, Addison, TJ, Jones, Good OLine.
Welcome to minnesota bud!!!! SKOL!!
Im a die hard wolverine fanatic and i promis you all, you got one hell of a QB in JJ.
He didnt get the stats because he coukd do everything, thats better than just having great passing numbers.
He will prove to be the best QB in this year's draft.
This Kid has the "IT" factor he's going to be a student of the game and he is a winner... I think we just laid a good foundation for the Vikings future
"Confidence is key" = Just throw me the damn ball, Jets is ALWAYS open!
welcome boys! warmest greetings from Germany
Was not big on jj Mccarthy before the draft.. But there's something special bout the Kid..
This GM is sharp. Excellent draft work for sure.
LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE KOCS SON AND TALKS LIKE HIM TOO. WE FOUND OUR GUY 😢❤
LETS GOOOOO we love you JJ. SKOL SKOL SKOL
Well spoken n very humble n blessed to be w us 🎉🔥🔥
Def a leadership mentality from this kid. Being 21 and so in tuned to winning and doing whatever it takes. Unselfish and mature.
We're winnin it with this squad, next couple years istg
I'm not gonna lie, I like this kid a lot. Wasn't a fan going in but he's a great leader seemingly
Truly glad to see people appreciating what UM fans have been saying for the past year. Criminally underrated and doubted because of his teams system, but a baller and leader in the truest since. A truly special individual with mental AND physical skillsets that make him truly exciting to project what he might become. As a UM and Lions fan I’m excited I’ll get to watch him often and happy he went to such a good situation, even if it makes me a little nervous!
Legendary ❤
As of now, he’s got me excited. As a Vikings fan, I’m beyond happy. He sounded like he actually wanted to be here, and that’s our key piece we’re missing. I do really hope it’s him. Coming from a franchise that’s usually been great, but always shut down. It’s been too long. SKOL! Let’s make it happen.
Welcome home fellas!
Damn I feel good about this young man, SKOL!
I'm impressed with his personality, I think he has a great attitude and really has his head screwed on straight, which is an often overlooked trait.
Now as a fanbase we have nothing dividing us now. New era!
I wish man… people always gonna complain
McCarthy sounds genuinely stoked about Minnesota, not even just being a part of the Vikings organization which is seen as one of the best in the NFL, but he seems like he wants to be here in MN.
This conference just convinced me about this dude. A dozen Jerombardis are coming to The Vikings in the next 10 years! SKOL!!!!
Math checks out
The real Jerome's know! 😂 skol!
JJ McCarthy is literally the younger version of Jim Harbaugh when it comes to the competitivness, the confidence, humility and leadership. As a Titans fan, i will be rooting for the Vikings until we meet in New Orleans for the Super Bowl 😏
As a Michigan season ticket holder, he's been my qb for the past 2 years. So excited to have him continue to be my qb!
Are you a Lions fan too? What’s the Fandom in Michigan?
Damn, you guys are so lucky to get JJ.
As a Michigan man myself I wish the best of luck to him, love this kid and I hope to see him go 15-2 his first season (the two losses of course being to Detroit, sorry JJ 🦁)
girl in the black dress was fire
Lawd have mercy!
you need water
Just remember no matter how hot she is, there's always a guy out there who is sick of her shit 😂
@@TH-camChan.-gv8ptyou need eyes man give credit where credit is due
Looks like all 3 are
Wow. Sounds like a winner. The more and more I see, the more impressed I am. Even the game film made him look better a little than just watching him play. Sounds like he has a great mindset. I’ll have to watch close now to see if he has that QB “it” factor. Where they see the whole game in slow motion almost. I like what the Vikings are and have been doing.
Man he sounds like Coach O that’s crazy! I’ve been a fan since 98 and man we finally have a QB
About to be the first rookie qb to win the Super Bowl!
To be fair,I don't want to see him start this first year. Behind that o line,he's gonna get smoked alot. Give him a year and hopefully kwesi and Kevin are smart enough to realize they need to invest big in the o line. As it sits they need a left guard and center possibly a right but see how engram does this year. Don't do what they did to kirk and don't put the kid in behind scrubs right away to get killed.
@@infamousnobody5172will have of the highest cap spaces next season! Believe they will figure that out
hard not to love this young man... good job Vikings
I dont know if Vikings fans truly realize what a winner theyve landed. This dude will create realtionships, earn the locker rooms respect and lead to glory. Take it from a Michigan alum. You guys hit gold. Good luck to him and the Vikings.
This is why the likelihood of JJ succeeding in the NFL and beyond is very high. The depth of character and maturity is most impressive. Here, he is 21 years old...anyone who wishes to criticize this young man would do well to go look in a mirror.
Im brainwashed by how much i love this kid. We believe in you JJ. Skol
Confidence is key in everything you do. Get it JJ
He just seems soo happy to be here. That's enough to make me feel somewhat confident all summer. Guy is a winner and we have a good receiving and running back core. Not to mention 2 stud tackles to protect him. May not start day 1 but we have the coach to help em out. Not thinking too negatively about a guy that's pumped to be here.
Minnesota is going love this kid.
Love the hockey question Jess!
We want you here JJ ❤
Wow, this will be an exciting year!
What an amazing interview. That kid is calm, confident and intelligent. Definitely important traits for a QB. Really excited to see what he has to offer.
Actually incredible value for the draft picks, will be fun to watch.
I think I speak for most to all Michigan fans when I say we wanted to see JJ land somewhere he can truly succeed I personally feel like Kevin Oconnel is a great fit and they’ll have a good coach qb relationship
Welcome to Minnesota: JJ and Dallas. ❤
Kwesi Adofo-Mensah really wore his favorite Star Trek sweater
Bears and Michigan fan - can’t wait to see what this guy does in minny. Will be rooting for you guys from afar. You’ve got a winner on your hands!
lets go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Lions...but also Go JJ. I'll root for any team JJ plays for
Welcome to SKOL Nation JJ!
TB13. Kid sounds like a coach.
We not only got the greatest player to ever get taken with the 10th overall pick, we got the greatest NFL player to ever come out of Michigan 💯
I don't want to be a hater but I don't know if anyone's passing Tom Brady
@@blazingemboar1998 DON’T JINX IT
@@blazingemboar1998he was a way better player then Brady when he played for Michigan. Now if it translates into the nfl is a different story
This fan base feels unified. What an offseason.
We can all move forward, hopefully to many championships!
Listening to him talk... how can you not like this kid? I am looking forward to watching him excel as a Viking! I sure hope we found our young franchise QB!
So excited for him to be my QB!!! Hopefully for a long time! Let’s goooo SKOL!
QB1 of this draft. Seems like the kind of guy to take lower pay to get talent around him to win. Like another Michigan QB
I like him even more now.
Oh we lit.
