First practice of Vikings camp in the books. Thought it was a solid day for both QBs. Some impressive Murray throws, some misses (including a James Pierre pick). McCarthy can really rip it, but still waiting to see the layered throws. Jordan Addison is everywhere. Caleb Banks mixed in with the 1s. More to come!
Kevin O’Connell is staying true to his word and keeping things (roughly) 50/50 (drill was cut short before JJM could finish) between Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy
Kyler Murray on learning the system: "Really helped me going through OTAs for sure, having done it once now. Obviously, this time it's about to be real, but I truly believe that going through OTAs has prepared me for what's to come."
Kyler Murray on where he is in the process of learning the Vikings' offense: "I feel great. Really helped me going through OTAs for sure. ... Obviously this time it's about to be real, but I truly believe that going through OTAs has prepared me for what's to come."

O'Connell: Kyler Murray, JJ McCarthy will take reps with the 1st and 2nd-team offense, via @WillRagatz.
Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy will both take reps with the first and second-team offenses, per HC Kevin O’Connell (@WillRagatz)
Kevin O'Connell says both Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy will take reps with the first-team and second-team offense, as expected. They're looking to see who can elevate those around them and run the offense with comfort.
"I’ve been skeptical that McCarthy really has a chance to win the job, given how quickly O’Connell jumped at the opportunity to sign Murray. But let’s play along with O’Connell’s insistence that this will be a competition and dive into how the job could be won or lost" [Quoted](
Kyler Murray & Jordan Addison are putting in the work 🔥 (@Schultz_Report)
Always love this question. And I think the answer is almost always a QB. I’d go Kyler Murray this year. In the non-QB division, give me Luther Burden. [Quoted](
Kyler Murray has especially struggled with accuracy on in-breaking routes/to the middle of the field. These are the routes on which Marvin Harrison Jr. has been most impressive to date. So maybe it's not surprising that the production never took off with Kyler. @FantasyPtsData
