The starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in 2025 is still up in the air. There is now a decision between J.J. McCarthy, who has not yet made his NFL debut and missed the whole season due to a knee injury, and Sam Darnold, who led the club the previous season.
Justin Jefferson, the leading receiver for the Vikings, isn’t picky about who the club selects. On Monday’s Pat McAfee Show, he boldly said that he would make whoever was in the quarterback position appear to be “the best quarterback in the whole NFL.”
“I’m not sure who the quarterback is going to be, and just like I said last year, it truly doesn’t matter personally to me,” Jefferson stated. “I’m going to take advantage of every opportunity, regardless of who throws me the ball. My goal is to make him appear to be the NFL’s top quarterback by making contested catches and seemingly difficult catches look simple.
The Vikings might resolve their quarterback dilemma much sooner rather than later since Darnold will become a free agency on March 12 if a deal is not reached before then. However, McCarthy wants to be given a “fair opportunity” to start as quarterback this summer. Therefore, Darnold’s re-signing by the Vikings does not guarantee that he will start in 2025.
