When the Minnesota Vikings selected Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the 10th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, they hoped to have their future quarterback. There are a lot of different elements to McCarthy emerging as the starter for the Vikings and the fanbase happens to be focused on the human element right now.
We are learning all about McCarthy and his journey to Michigan and the National Football League, which is leading to some interesting tidbits. The latest one that the fanbase has become enamored with is a picture of him with a flamingo.
Yes, a flamingo.

It's honestly an incredible picture. McCarthy is having a great time at what looks like the zoo and the fanbase is loving it.
Nice to see a kid have the opportunity to be a kid. 🙂
