Competing Vikings Quarterbacks Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy Splitting Reps At Minicamp

The Vikings have a young and inexperienced quarterback and a new quarterback. Both would benefit greatly from as many minicamp reps as possible.

But the reality is, this is still a quarterback competition, so Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy are only getting about half as many snaps as they'd like.

"Me already being behind, not getting the amount of reps that you would typically want a guy to get learning an offense, that's probably the toughest part," said Murray after day one of mandatory minicamp at the Vikings facility in Eagan, Minnesota. "Again, going back to the past, being in control of everything, understanding what we were doing because I was comfortable within the system. Now, coming into a new system, learning on the fly, trying to play fast, efficient and let it loose while learning, that's the toughest part."
