Is McCarthy, 22, nervous about his chance to be the Vikings starter? “I don’t think it feels like weight to him,” his former QB coach says.

Minnesota Vikings fans are already over the moon about the J.J. McCarthy experience and he hasn't even played in a real NFL game.

Metellus is in the final year of a two-year, $8 million contract, and he is due for a raise. However, Vikings veterans do not technically have to report until July 22, so Metellus’ absence from the list of early arrivals is to be expected.
