Jared Allen's honest message about J.J. McCarthy deserves every fan’s attention

Before getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame earlier this year, legendary former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen spent 12 seasons in the NFL, so he's seen it all when it comes to what makes a player successful at the pro level.

Allen has still been paying attention to the Vikings this year, so like all of us at home, he's also witnessed the struggles that J.J. McCarthy has been going through this season as Minnesota's starting quarterback.
