The Minnesota Vikings have arranged a private workout with Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy following a trade with the Houston Texans that gave them a second first-round pick, per Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer.

"[The Vikings] had plans in motion for quarterbacks coaches Josh McCown and Grant Udinski to be in Ann Arbor for Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy's pro day this Friday," Breer wrote. "Minnesota also arranged a private workout on campus with McCarthy for next week, with [head coach Kevin] O'Connell and [GM Kwesi] Adofo-Mensah set to make that trip."

On Friday, the Vikings traded a second-round pick, a sixth-round pick and a 2025 second-round pick to the Texans in exchange for the 23rd overall pick in the 2024 draft.
