J.J. McCarthy: End zone misses are throws I have to make
Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is no longer fighting for the team’s starting job, but he is trying to solidify his spot as the backup to Kyler Murray and Saturday’s game against the Ravens was a decidedly mixed effort on that front. McCarthy was 5-of-10 for 81 yards, including a 50-yard strike to wide receiver Tai Felton that set the Vikings up in the red zone in the first quarter. McCarthy had a pair of opportunities to turn that field position into a touchdown, but missed Felton in the back of the end zone on second down and overthrew a wide open Myles Price on fourth down from the 1-yard-line. After the game, McCarthy called those “throws I’ve got to make .” “I know I can make those throws,” McCarthy said, via Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. “And it’s great to have that experience logged in and that data logged in to be able to make that throw next time.” McCarthy was sacked once and hit on other plays in his quarter of work. He was asked if he felt he was sped up on the misfires. “I wouldn’t say I felt sped up,” McCarthy said. “It’s just sometimes you hit them, sometimes you miss. And it’s . . . what preseason’s all about. You get it out now and log that feeling, like I said, and make sure you hit it the next time.” Head coach Kevin O’Connell said McCarthy was “ a little hobbled ” after the game, but McCarthy said he doesn’t anticipate missing any time. Carson Wentz, who would likely be the backup if O’Connell opts to go away from McCarthy, was 9-of-11 for 92 yards during his time in Saturday’s game

2026 Season Outlook
sleeper-outlookSource unavailable
Price suited up for 16 regular-season games with the Vikings in 2025 after going undrafted out of Indiana, missing only Week 18 due to an ankle issue. While the depth wideout didn't draw a single target across his 17 offensive snaps, he was one of the league's most productive return specialists, totaling 1,479 kick-return yards (most in team history) and 298 yards as a punt returner. Price looks locked in as the team's top kick returner heading into the 2026 campaign

NFL Draft recap: Reviewing Emmanuel Henderson and his fit with the Seahawks
In the theme of reconnecting former teammates, the Seattle Seahawks drafted Jalen Milroe’s former Alabama teammate Emmanuel Henderson with their sixth-round pick . They have done this before, reuniting Grey Zabel and Jalen Sundell , Mason Richman and Beau Stephens, Jadarian Price and Rylie Mills . Now, Milroe will be able to help Henderson get situated with the Seahawks. How will Henderson fit within the culture Mike Macdonald is building with this current iteration of the team? With the “Run it Forward” mindset that Mike is trying to set for the team, let’s take a look at Henderson. Over his four-year collegiate career, Henderson did not put up gaudy numbers in yardage and touchdowns: 862 yards, five touchdowns , longest being 93 yards, which is nothing to scoff at. He averaged 17.2 yards per reception, which is great. Most of the yards came in his fourth year when he played for the University of Kansas. Prior, he played three years at Alabama but was never really able to carve out a role, though with his four catches in 2024 he averaged more than 20 yards per reception. Henderson was also a contributor in the return game, averaging 22.8 per return with one touchdown in 2025. This type of profile is one Seahawk fans will be familiar with. Players like Tyler Lockett , Dareke Young , and Rashid Shaheed are a few examples of players who with the Seahawks contributed to the receiving game and return game. Henderson figures to be a contributor on special teams, and stated that special teams is a big part of his game . Coach Mike wants players who are leaders and are hard workers, not letting outside distraction nor ego get ahead of what’s best for the team. Henderson is that kind of player. As the oldest of six siblings, he has been a leader in his family, and was a role model for his siblings. Through his times at both Alabama and Kansas, he worked hard every practice to make a name for himself, moving from running back in high school, to wide receiver at Alabama, and contributing to special teams. He did not let his lack of production at Alabama discourage him from his goal, and instead continued to work hard, and then went to Kansas where he continued to show off his talents. He is also is willing to get his hands dirty as a receiver and run block which is very key for the Seahawk offense which is run heavy. That mentality to do what is needed to best help the team as well as continue to grind both in games and on the practice field is something that falls in line with the Seahawks philosophy of Mind over BS. At 6’1” and 185lbs, he is not the biggest receiver. He ran a 4.44 second 40 yard dash , 2.59 second 20 yard split, and 1.56 second 10 yard split. Henderson’s speed and vision is his best tool in his toolkit, which helps him in the return game and with go routes. He has a Relative Athletic Score of 6.37, which per their metrics is “Okay.” Per PFSN his closest athletic testing comp was Jerry Jeudy , his size measurement comp was Tre Turner , and an overall comp was Ladd McConkey . Not bad comps for Henderson, but they do not guarantee success. With the depth in the wide receiver room, it will be difficult for him to get an offensive role right away, and will need to make a name for himself on special teams to make the 53-man roster. Dane Brugler’s profile on Henderson in The Beast notes that he played both defensive back and running back early on in his football career growing up. Once he got to Alabama, he moved to wide receiver, but had a hard time getting reps till he transferred to Kansas, where he made an impact as a receiver, returner and gunner, notching 14 tackles on special teams. The experience with multiple positions on offense, defense and special teams goes along with Mike’s philosophy of having players, and coaches too, with a variety of experience. Dane’s evaluation of the former Jayhawk boiled down to ensuring that, “his speed can be weaponized in the right role, and his special teams impact will be an i [... truncated ...]
