Apart from what he can do as a quarterback, McCarthy has been generating a lot of hype for the other things he’s doing on the field. In an episode of The Offensive Line with Annie Agar, the NFL Network reporter asked Scott Hanson about Gen Z terms, which led to saying the rookie quarterback’s Rizz is top-notch.

“I’m going off the board, you can’t stop me. I’m saying JJ McCarthy because he’s got that rizz… he meditates at the goal post before games, during warmups, he goes down in this cross legged zen position, with his headphones on and he goes out there and just puts passes where he needs to when he needs to… JJ found the way, JJ with the rizz, is the pick,” Hanson said.

Late last month, the Vikings inked McCarthy to a lucrative four-year contract with a substantial signing bonus. His arrival brings anticipation and promise, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
