The J.J. McCarthy Effect is real (maybe)

After the Minnesota Vikings selected Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the 10th pick in last weekend’s NFL Draft, one of the points that people made about him was the fact that he wins a lot. He was incredibly successful in high school and had a 27-1 record as the starter at Michigan in his two years as the starter. Now, you can talk about whether or not wins are a quarterback stat, but a curious thing has happened to Minnesota sports teams since McCarthy was drafted.

They can’t stop winning, either.

As Fantasy Pros writer and fellow Vikings fan Thor Nystrom pointed out on social media last night, no Minnesota sports team has lost since the Vikings selected McCarthy last Thursday.
