J.J. McCarthy’s NFL debut is a homecoming. 🏈⁣
⁣
The Vikings QB will take the field tonight at Soldier Field — just 15 miles from where he grew up in La Grange Park, Ill. 🏡⁣
⁣
From 6 a.m. open gyms in sixth grade to a state title at Nazareth Academy, McCarthy’s work ethic has always set him apart. 💪⁣
⁣
After a stellar run at Michigan and a rookie year lost to injury, he finally gets his shot... with Justin Jefferson as his top target. 🔥⁣
⁣
Tonight, he faces a Bears crowd full of family, friends…and lifelong Chicago fans who might be torn about who to cheer for. 👀 #thegist⁣
