Vikings’ Justin Jefferson on J.J. McCarthy: ‘I want him to be just as confident as I am of him’
“As his teammate and as a captain of the team, just trying to make him dialed in every chance that I can,” Jefferson said. “Our lockers are right next to each other, so every chance that I get to talk to him about football, about anything that goes on outside of football. Just try to get to know him as much as I can because when the season comes and whenever we’re locked in, I want him to be just as confident as I am of him to make the plays out there.”
Buzz continues to grow around Vikings newcomer at key position group
But over the course of the offseason, the buzz around Rodgers has grown steadily. First, there was Kevin O’Connell saying Brian Flores had major conviction when it came to signing him — and that Flo is usually right when he has that “tone in his voice” about a guy. Later in the offseason program, we heard directly from Flores about how much he’s liked Rodgers for a long time, and how he was “all in” when the Vikings had a chance to get him.
There’s no debate that Rodgers is among the Vikings’ more important players, non-McCarthy division, heading into training camp. The cornerback room is the biggest on-paper question mark of an otherwise loaded defense. If Rodgers is the guy Flores and the Vikings believe he can be, he’ll form a strong pairing with Murphy and can take this defense over the top as a unit without any weak points.
