JJM: 'I feel bigger, faster and stronger now. Its just age and being at the facilities working out 5 days a week'. He mentioned the biggest change from Year 1 to Year 2 is familiarity with the offense.

"I would say just naturally age. Being able to be here the entire offseason, work out five days a week and just consistently stack those days because over time it's going to show up to how I feel now," McCarthy said after the Vikings held an organized team activity on Wednesday.

It also helps that he's 10 months removed from the torn meniscus that ended his rookie season after one preseason game.

"It feels amazing," he said of being back on the field. "When you get it taken away from you, you take every chance you get to be back out here and really appreciate it, really take the most out of it. There's just nothing better than being out here with the boys, playing some ball."

Head coach Kevin O'Connell raved about McCarthy's growth from Year 1 to 2.

"Yeah, he's healthy. He's done an unbelievable job," O'Connell said. "You kind of forget the fact that this is his first runway since the injury happened. I think it's just a credit to the work he put in. There's been a lot of lonely hours where it's him and the training staff and the strength staff. Jut the work he's put in to get his body where he's at, and the arm feeling the way it is, and then of course coming off the injury his lower body feeling as good as it does, to move the way he's doing. He looks great. He's feeling really good. Now we just gotta stack a lot of really good days together this spring together."
