Drafted 10th overall by the Vikings out of Michigan last year, McCarthy suffered a knee injury in his first preseason game that ended his season. Now he’s back in action, looking to get back on the path he was on before the injury – leading Michigan to a national title and then being a high first-round pick.

With McCarthy out last year Sam Darnold had a tremendous season for the Vikings, setting a high bar. Helping McCarthy make the jump to the NFL will be one of the best supporting casts for a quarterback in the NFL from head coach Kevin O’Connell to the team’s offensive line and wide receiver talent and depth.

Something to watch for in this game will be which receivers work well with McCarthy. With Jordan Addison suspended for the start of the season there are snaps to be won in the wide receiver rotation in Minnesota.
