Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy turned a moment of confusion into comedy gold when former Washington QB Robert Griffin III struggled to identify him during the Vikings-Lions Sunday Night Football broadcast.
The Vikings' 10th overall pick in the 2024 draft has spent his entire rookie season sidelined with a meniscus injury that required knee surgery in the preseason. His appearance on the sidelines during this crucial matchup sparked widespread reactions across social media.
The playful interaction unfolded when Griffin III posted a live screengrab of McCarthy on the sidelines. NFL fans were particularly struck by the QB's youthful appearance, with many expressing surprise at how young he looked for an NFL signal-caller.
