It is difficult to discern at this time
I think the Vikings may have had TJ Hockenson and any of the new linemen signed (Ryan Kelly, Will Fries, Jonathan Allen, Javon Hargrave). It is hard to say right now because we have not seen the new additions play yet and TJ was coming off an injury last year.
What do you think?

Minnesota Vikings beat writer Tyler Forness: Lions EDGE Aidan Hutchinson
The reality is this. Hutchinson isn’t a bad player. He’s a very good one! We just need to talk about Hutchinson on the level he is actually at, and not that he’s close to players like Garrett, Maxx Crosby, and Micah Parsons. Right now, Hutch is a fringe top 10 pass rusher, and there is nothing wrong with that! He’s closer to 15 than he is to the top three, and that’s where the discussion needs to be.

what will jj mccarthy stats look like in 2025
Here’s what projections suggest for J.J. McCarthy’s stats in the 2025 season:
Completion Percentage: ESPN’s Mike Clay projects McCarthy to complete 347 out of 537 passes, which translates to a completion rate of roughly 64.6%.
Passing Yards: Clay anticipates McCarthy to throw for 3,705 passing yards.
Touchdowns: The projection suggests 26 touchdown passes.
Interceptions: Clay predicts 14 interceptions for McCarthy in 2025.
Rushing: McCarthy is also projected to carry the ball 48 times for 206 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Context and Comparison:
These projections suggest a “mostly good season” for McCarthy in his first season as a starter, especially given the offensive support he has in Minnesota.
Compared to Jayden Daniels, the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, McCarthy’s projected numbers are similar in yards and touchdowns but slightly higher in interceptions. This indicates that McCarthy might experience a few more “rookie mistakes”.
Some analysts believe McCarthy is set up for success in 2025, with an elite offensive line, playmakers like Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson, and a good offensive scheme.
While some project a solid year, others see the potential for even higher yardage, with some suggesting he could reach close to 4,000 yards.
McCarthy faces high expectations, and his performance will significantly impact the Vikings’ season.
Important Notes:
These are projections based on analysis and predictions. They are not guaranteed outcomes.
McCarthy missed his rookie season in 2024 due to a knee injury, so his first NFL start will be in 2025, which adds some uncertainty.
Despite missing his rookie season, McCarthy’s potential is widely recognized due to his successful college career at Michigan.
