J.J. McCarthy channels rival Dak Prescott with hilarious pregame workout.

Quarterback J. J. McCarthy went viral without even throwing a ball for the New York Giants, as he emulated rival Dak Prescott’s hilarious pregame workout that involved an unusual hip and core activation routine on the field. McCarthy, who was traded to the Giants from the Minnesota Vikings, performed repeated fake-throw motions that caught the attention of fans and cameras, turning a warm-up drill into a trending moment. Fans are expecting that the focused sequence will set the tone for the confidence he carried into the season. J. J. was selected 10th overall in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft by Minnesota, but the lack of consistent playing time and some injuries had him out of the franchise for good in less than two years.
