The Minnesota Vikings have not figured out their quarterback plan for the 2025 season. The team could bring back Sam Darnold, who led them to a 14-3 record last season, on a new contract, or they could just stick with last year's first round pick J.J. McCarthy, who missed the whole season with a knee injury that required two surgeries.

Justin Jefferson is awaiting the Vikings' decision just as the rest of us. Whoever Minnesota picks will be throwing the ball to Jefferson, who has been the team's leading receiver since he was drafted in 2020.
