Kyler Murray feels behind in Vikings QB competition with J.J. McCarthy

Kyler Murray expressed concerns about his standing in the Minnesota Vikings' quarterback battle against J.J. McCarthy during minicamp. After a practice session where he threw interceptions on consecutive plays, Murray noted a struggle with splitting reps that has hindered his ability to learn the new offense. He emphasized the challenge of not receiving the usual amount of practice repetitions necessary for mastering the playbook. Despite this, Murray remains a leading candidate for the starting position, although McCarthy, the No. 10 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is ahead in terms of familiarity with the offensive scheme.
