Young J.J. McCarthy, a force to be reckoned with, is set to bring his winning streak to the NFL. After leading the Michigan Wolverines to a perfect 15-0 record and a national championship, McCarthy’s college football career culminated in a special 27-1 record, boasting the highest winning percentage of 964 for a quarterback. 

After this promising performance, the Minnesota Vikings booked his services by selecting him as the 10th overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. After Kirk Cousins moved to the Atlanta Falcons, the Vikings were eager to fill in his place, and who better than a championship-winning QB?

J.J. McCarthy’s ‘hardest’ flex

The Vikings QB shared an Instagram story in which he became part of the trend, showing his college career’s “hardest” picture. The hardest and the most glorifying move of his career would be the championship-winning moment. 

Hopping on the trend, McCarthy posted a black-and-white picture featuring him lifting the championship trophy alongside his teammates. The caption on the picture says, “Hardest pic of your college career.” 

With his college football career behind him, McCarthy is ready to make his mark in the NFL. His transition to the professional league is a pivotal moment, and his performance will undoubtedly be a key factor in the Vikings’ upcoming season. The success of this transition, however, will largely depend on the guidance and support he receives from the Vikings coaching staff during his rookie season.
