Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has a big arm and a big heart.

McCarthy recently collaborated with YouTuber Josh Liljenquist to give back to people in need in the Twin Cities area. He bought a bunch of pizzas and handed them out to homeless folks for free.

Not only did McCarthy give out the pizzas, he supported a local business by tipping pretty generously. The food came from OG Zaza, a New Haven-style pizza chain with four locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area.

McCarthy, 22, was the tenth overall pick by the Vikings in the 2024 NFL Draft. After missing his entire rookie season due to a torn meniscus, the former University of Michigan star might be Minnesota's QB1 in 2025 and beyond.
