J.J. McCarthy Embraces Shock Trade From Minnesota Vikings to Giants

Quarterback J.J. McCarthy admitted it was a major shock to be traded from the Minnesota Vikings to the New York Giants for a fifth-round pick. Speaking after Friday's practice, the 23-year-old expressed excitement for the fresh opportunity. While head coach John Harbaugh and the staff are easing him into the playbook as Jameis Winston's backup while Jaxson Dart is sidelined, McCarthy is eager to work hard and establish himself in the Giants' quarterback room.
