Patrick Mahomes Praises JJ McCarthy: ‘Best Arm in the NFL’

Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes has made a bold statement regarding rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy, claiming that the Minnesota Vikings’ young signal-caller possesses the best arm in the NFL. The high praise has sparked discussions among analysts, fans, and NFL insiders alike.

Mahomes, widely regarded as one of the most talented quarterbacks of his generation, pointed to McCarthy’s impressive arm strength and accuracy, particularly referencing a throw from McCarthy’s pro day.

“Yeah, McCarthy in Minnesota had the best arm. He threw a throw, I think 75 yards at his pro day, perfectly placed. Nobody else is doing that,” Mahomes said.

This endorsement from a two-time MVP and Super Bowl champion adds significant credibility to McCarthy’s potential as an elite passer in the league. The former Michigan star was drafted by the Vikings to be their quarterback of the future, and while he has yet to take a regular-season snap, expectations are already soaring.

McCarthy’s deep-ball accuracy, combined with his athleticism and poise, made him a top prospect leading up to the draft. While many believed he would need time to develop, Mahomes’ comments suggest that McCarthy may be closer to NFL readiness than initially thought.

As the Vikings navigate their quarterback situation, with McCarthy competing for a starting role, Mahomes’ praise will only fuel the excitement surrounding his potential. With one of the game’s best quarterbacks recognizing his talent, all eyes will be on McCarthy to see if he can live up to the growing hype.
