Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy had his NFL rookie campaign hampered due to injuries and a career year by journeyman quarterback Sam Darnold.

Despite starting his professional career off slow, the former first-round pick, and national champion winner with the Michigan Wolverines, is still viewed as the man of the future for the Minnesota offense.

One person who has never doubted his ability is his high school sweetheart and fiancée Katya Kuropas.
