The Minnesota Vikings have handed the QB1 position over to former Michigan Wolverine National Championship winner JJ McCarthy. Like any good quarterback, McCarthy seems to fully understand that forging a bond with his top receiver is critical to his success. In this case his top receiver, Justin Jefferson, may arguably be the best in the league. A luxury for a young quarterback like McCarthy and he is wasting no time building that connection. The two teammates lit up social media after they attended the Timberwolves series clinching 121-110 win against the Golden State Warriors last night.

While it is great to see teammates connecting, some of the takes on this are a little over the top. Calling the fact that two elite athletes went to an NBA playoff game to support their city "off the charts chemistry building" is a heck of a stretch. Either way it shows that McCarthy and Jefferson understand they need to be synced up for the future success of the Vikings organization. Now Viking fans have to wait and see if that translates to the field.
