Second-year Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy will make his first regular-season start on Monday night, but it sounds like he's as locked in as a seasoned pro, especially if this ice-cold quote from a recent ESPN story is any indication.
"I kind of make this switch when game day happens," McCarthy said, in a piece from ESPN's Kevin Seifert published Monday. "That's when the war paint comes on. It's like I'm ready to die on that field, and I'm ready to do anything possible to get that win. It's not going to look pretty, and it's not going to look like someone just did my makeup for Halloween. It's war paint."
