I don't know about the low release point and throwing behind Jefferson... Too soon?

That Michigan to Michigan State connection 😂

Jefferson looks every part of the WR diva, but he just doesn't let it onto the field.  The gold visor, lol.  But kudos to this kid who seemingly enjoys what he does and keeps the diva limited to off-field.

Jefferson is the man! Really hope he can stay healthy because I think his game will evolve and age gracefully. Would be the best if he becomes the next Hitman, Greenway, type of Viking.

Oh not criticizing him.  I just think it is amazing.  If you just looked at the off-field bling, you would see a diva WR.  But his professionalism on the field is what separates him.  After he climbed the ladder for that catch against buffalo, arguably the greatest catch I have ever seen, he ran and gave the ball to the ref to keep the hurry up alive.

Man o man. Lot of us been waiting for years! For this beef on the interior lines. I’m excited!

Lot of good stuff at Vikings OTAs today. It's early — EARLY — but thought J.J. McCarthy looked like the same guy who was starting to really impress late last fall. Same zip, anticipation, bounce. Almost all of the starters were present and active.

#Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy has spent "a lot of time" with C Ryan Kelly.

Is that Nailor or David Boston?

Holy cow

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."

Yep, Speedy is jacked this year. Wants that next NFL contract.
