J.J. McCarthy, the Minnesota Vikings' rookie quarterback, and linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel were seen at the Minnesota Timberwolves game against the Denver Nuggets this past Saturday. The duo was captured on the video board during the first quarter, where McCarthy entertained fans by initiating a Skol clap, drawing loud cheers from the crowd. Selected 10th overall in the 2024 NFL draft, McCarthy's rookie season was cut short due to a meniscus injury suffered in the preseason, right before the season began. Nonetheless, he remains a promising figure for the Vikings as the future of their quarterback position. His ongoing rehabilitation, however, has led to a notable weight loss of 20 pounds, raising questions about his readiness for the upcoming season.
