Murray Battles for QB Spot in Minnesota

About this episode

Kyler Murray faces competition from J.J. McCarthy for the starting QB position in Minnesota, highlighting the competitive nature of the NFL.

Kyler Murray, Minnesota’s high-profile QB and 2019 No. 1 pick, is feeling the pressure as he battles for reps with J.J. McCarthy in Vikings camp — a stark contrast to his Arizona days where he was handed the starting role. With both players vying for the job, Murray’s past success and unique dual-sport draft pedigree can’t shield him from the reality: in the NFL, you earn your spot, not inherit it. The Vikings’ QB battle is heating up — McCarthy led the team to a 9-8 record last year, while Murray had a higher impact score — making this one of the league’s most compelling quarterback showdowns.
