When the Minnesota Vikings signed veteran quarterback Kyler Murray, it was reported that he would compete for the starting job with J.J. McCarthy. However, very few people believe it will actually be a competition. Instead, the common thought is that Murray became the starter once he put pen to paper, and that McCarthy’s NFL future is up in the air.
One of McCarthy’s former teammates isn’t rolling with that narrative, though. Veteran wide receiver Jalen Nailor, who just left the Vikings in free agency for the Las Vegas Raiders, recently appeared on the "Up & Adams" show and had positive things to say about his former quarterback.
