Minnesota Vikings rookie JJ McCarthy was unlucky to have one of his poor passes shown on ESPN this weekend.

The former Michigan quarterback is participating in his team’s rookie minicamp and was shown making a throw on said network’s ‘NFL Live.’ Unfortunately for the rook, it was not his best work, and he’s been getting trolled over it.

An Ohio fan posted a recording of the throw to Twitter/X along with the caption, “JJ McCarthy looks great in rookie minicamp.”

Of course, it’s easy to see why a Buckeyes fan would jump at the opportunity to show McCarthy delivering a bad pass after how things turned out last season.

 

But plenty of other fans piled on.

“Between him and Daniel Jones I can’t tell the difference,” one wrote.

JJ McCarthy Was Feeling Great After His First Day

JJ McCarthy had many other users tweet in his defense, with many of them pointing out that one errant pass during practice isn’t much to go by.

A report from ESPN also noted that the QB made some impressive throws later in the day.

“It didn’t feel like my first day,” he told the publication. “I’ve been going over the offense for a long time now. So being able to [go] out there and perform and execute, that’s new, but it was nothing that was overwhelming or too much.”

Let’s see what his first season with the Vikings looks like.
