It’s difficult to imagine how crazy J.J. McCarthy’s life will be come September. We’re not just talking about the Minnesota Vikings.
While the Minnesota Viking are prepping for a huge season with quarterback J.J. McCarthy in the fold. McCarthy, of course, was out for his full rookie season, so the 2025 season will really be his rookie time with the team.
Going into the 2025 season, McCarthy could really enhance the team’s offense and be the proven leader that many are hoping to see. but, at the same time, he’s going to be a busy guy, because he’ll be dealing with a major life event right at the start of the season.
The NFL season will officially kick off on September 4 with the Philadelphia Eagles taking on the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 4. The first Vikings game is Sept. 8 against the Bears.

So much at once, right?
“The best surprises come when you least expect them. Our sweet baby boy is arriving in September and we couldn’t be happier,” Kuropas shared on Instagram. McCarthy responded with some heart and pray or thankful hand emojis.Then, earlier this month, Kuropas took to Instagram again, this time to post an update on how the baby is doing. She shared some video clips with the message, “half of me + half of you.” He responded with a sweet comment, stating, “He already has the best mama in the world.”
