One Vikings QB is making a big first impression on coaches at OTAs
One Vikings QB is making a big first impression on coaches at OTAs
The Minnesota Vikings quarterback room has been among the best in the league for several years now.
Kevin O'Connell has done a tremendous job of developing younger players, maximizing veterans, and fixing players down on their luck. It has resulted in several players getting the most out of their careers, and now the hope is that their former top pick, J.J. McCarthy, can be his long-term project.
It isn't just McCarthy though, it seems that O'Connell will also have another young quarterback vying for his attention.
Purple Insider's Matthew Coller discussed how undrafted free agent quarterback Max Brosmer made a great first impression with coaches at OTAs. Coller spoke about his thoughts about the former Golden Gopher quarterback, saying, "The guy that's impressed me, just to tell you the truth, and I'm not trying to be that guy, but I keep liking what I see from Max Brosmer. Every time we see Max Brosmer out there (first during rookie mini-camp, and now today, he ran a drill at the red zone and had a couple of touchdown passes. . .I like what I've seen from Max Brosmer so far. I don't think he competes for QB2, but he might compete for QB3.'
The Vikings quarterback room, without Brosmer, consists of McCarthy, Brett Rypien, and Sam Howell.
It is not common anymore for teams to carry more than three quarterbacks across the active roster and practice squads. However, if Brosmer continues to play the way that Coller is describing, then he may be making life difficult for O'Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah when it comes to making decisions.

McCarthy Preparing To Deliver Brilliance In 2025 For Hungry Vikings

More Images) The Vikings have been a confident and winning team under head coach Kevin O'Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. They have had impressive winning seasons with both Kirk Cousins and Sam Darnold at quarterback. The 2022 and 2024 seasons cemented O'Connell as one of the best quarterback mentors in the league. But now comes his biggest opportunity. He gets to work with J.J. McCarthy, a quarterback who has more skill, athleticism and ability than either of his two predecessors. He appears to have the kind of make-up that could make him one of the all-time greats at the position. O'Connell is in the process of preparing McCarthy for greatness. It is as if DaVinci is getting set to paint the Mona Lisa. The game's greatest quarterback whisperer is set to work with the most brilliant quarterback prospect. While the game's observers won't truly know the truth about McCarthy until he proves it on a game-by-game and year-over-year basis, he appears to have the stuff that legends are made of. Start off with the fact that he won an undisputed national championship at Michigan in 2023. That's something that no Michigan team had done since 1948. (The 1997 team had to share the national championship with Texas). There was no sharing any title when McCarthy led the Wolverines. He had the swagger and the finishing touch to lead a very talented team where it had not been in 75 years. The Vikings have never won a Super Bowl and that fact is the dark cloud that hangs over this franchise. The team was good enough to win one NFL championship (1969) and get to four Super Bowls, but none of those losses were even close. It has been 49 seasons since the last Vikings team appeared in Super Bowl XI and dropped a 32-14 decision to John Madden and the Oakland Raiders.

More Sportswire via Getty Images) The Vikings believe they have addressed the weaknesses they had on the interior offensive line by drafting Donovan Jackson from Ohio State to play left guard and signing free agents Ryan Kelly (center) and Will Fries (right guard) from the Indianapolis Colts. This assumes that all three of these players represent improvement from the interior blockers who were overwhelmed in the regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions and the Wild Card loss to the Rams. There is a confidence that this team has what it takes to build off a 14-3 regular season and become elite. The key is the development of McCarthy. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson is arguably the best at his position in the NFL. He believes that McCarthy is taking all the steps needed to lead the Vikings to a new level. 'First of all, he understands the role that he has now. He understands that he is the starting quarterback at this moment," Jefferson said. "I feel like he kind of brings that with him to practice, knowing that he has to have that leadership. He's the captain of our team. So I feel like him being right beside me and him trying to learn as much as he needs to, I feel like just his awareness of the game and his intelligence has really grown.' The players see that McCarthy has something extra that most young players don't have before they have even stepped onto the field for a regular-season game. Defensive tackle Harrison Phillips equates McCarthy's confidence to another top NFL quarterback he played with earlier in his career. 'Man, he's got some confidence,' Phillips said. 'It reminds me of Josh Allen, when I was with him in Buffalo, coming into his own and understanding the power that he has to lead this organization. And he's doing a fantastic job.' Phillips played with the Buffalo Bills from 2018 through 2021 before moving on to the Vikings in 2022. It's way too early to make any declarations about this year's version of the Vikings. But it's not too early to say that the team's aspirations have never been higher. The team looks as good as it has in any season since the ill-fated 1998 season that saw the Vikings go 15-1 in the regular season before disaster hit in the NFC title against the Atlanta Falcons. The mentor and his prodigy will attempt to deliver a masterpiece.

Kevin O'Connell is a QB guru. How that happened is best part of his Vikings story
Kevin O'Connell is a QB guru. How that happened is best part of his Vikings story Show Caption Hide Caption QB Sam Darnold reflects on his impressive 2024 season with the Vikings Seahawks QB Sam Darnold talks about his impressive 2024 season with the Minnesota Vikings. Sports Seriously Editor's note: This story is a part of a series by USA TODAY Sports called Project: June. We will publish at least one NFL-themed story every day throughout the month because fans know the league truly never sleeps. It was last December when former tight end Greg Olsen, an announcer on Fox, said something that has become increasingly popular now about Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell. But then, Olsen was one of the first high-profile people to put it so bluntly and publicly. 'If you're starting a franchise and you need a great coach, play-caller, quarterback whisperer," Olsen said, "he might be the guy.' He probably is the guy. But how did O'Connell get to this point? I've been told by several people who've been around O'Connell that he does this one thing that is increasingly rare in the NFL (and actually in all of society): He listens. He listens extremely well. O'Connell prepares and works hard but his listening skills are supposedly what distinguishes him from some other coaches. When it comes to formulating a game plan, he accepts input more than the average coach, it seems. He's perhaps mastered the trickiest part of doing the job in that he listens while simultaneously leading. None of this is to say O'Connell is alone at doing this, but he might be the best at it. Even the way he handled the Aaron Rodgers situation was impressive. More listening. More good communication. It was a tricky one for O'Connell. He had to navigate what is a friendship between the two men and explore (delicately) the possibility of Rodgers joining the Vikings while simultaneously protecting the interests of J.J. McCarthy. "When there was an opportunity — when him and I connected this offseason just to kind of talk about what that would look like — we had a lot of great dialogue about it, but it always was centered around what was best not only for the present in the Minnesota Vikings organization, but the future," O'Connell said. "I was very honest about my feelings towards J.J., my obligation that I felt like we were going to give him the best possible situation to begin and thrive on this NFL journey, and let's see where it goes. We stayed in touch and had some communication," he said. "... Out of respect for our friendship and everything, that's about as much as really kind of happened." There's also the preparation part of O'Connell's game, and this is where McCarthy, who is taking over the position from Sam Darnold, will also greatly benefit. Vikings offensive tackle Brian O'Neill once explained O'Connell's attention to detail this way: 'It's always, like, 'Hey, we're going to do this run this way because, later in the game, that's what they're going to see, and the way our formations are, they're going to think it's this, but it's really that,'' O'Neill said a few months ago. 'It's keying players into why we're installing things the way we are, rather than some coaches who call plays and install plays, and the players don't know why.' Said O'Connell to ESPN: "Coaching, in my opinion, is about what you do in those moments to help make sure that your team improves and players improve. And then doing it in a way that never ever alters their confidence to go get their job done. "If we're only going to operate the way we want when things are going well, that's a culture that has nothing to do with what we're trying to build here. And luckily, because I think we have great players and we have great people in our locker room and our coaching staff, people have adhered to that being our way of doing things, and it has shown up." O'Connell was named Coach of the Year in 2024 and in many ways it wasn't just about the season. It could have easily been a lifetime achievement award as he has worked around many quarterbacks and changed their careers for the better. The latest was of course Darnold. If O'Connell's history continues, McCarthy will be another QB success story for him. Just watch ... and listen.
