The Minnesota Vikings have not told J.J. McCarthy that he is their starting quarterback, he said this week in an interview with the "Up & Adams Show" on FanDuel TV.
"And I'm happy they didn't, because I try to earn it every single day. And I never want that to be given to me. it's such a privilege and opportunity to give me that chance and I'm just going to make the most of it every single day," McCarthy said in the interview with Kay Adams, which aired Tuesday, from the NFLPA Classic golf tournament in Mexico.
