Passing Game Outlook
The No. 10 overall pick in last year’s draft, Minnesota backed J.J. McCarthy as their de facto starter by allowing Sam Darnold to walk in free agency, then beefing up their trenches with former Colts iOL Ryan Kelly, Will Fries, and bursty 90th-percentile OL Donovan Jackson in the first round, piecing together Brandon Thorn’s No. 5 offensive line. With only 19 dropbacks during the 2024 preseason (for two touchdowns and 11.1 yards per attempt), McCarthy’s credentials from his rookie year remain the same including a career 64-3 record (dating back to high school) and 4.6 weekly carries over his last two seasons at Michigan — oomph from the ground that warrants high-end QB2 status.
