www.vikings.com/video/kevin-o-connell-talks-about-drafting-j-j-mccarthy-and-dallas-turner-in-round-1-of-the-2024-nfl-draftI truly enjoy listening to KO talk and break down thought process. He is a great listen and you can see his excitement for both these players and he is truly pumped to have them both, especially to begin working with JJM. That said, I was not as impressed with either JJM or DTs interviews. JJM seemed a little lost in his words and DT isn't much of a speaker. Not as intriguing to listen to...yet. I get that they are young and inexperienced with the media and probably a lot of emotions. What was interesting to me about JJM is he never spoke specifically about players on offense, he just referenced them as a whole. If I were the newly drafted QB, my first words would have been around the excitement of being able to throw to the best WR in the game and with his name, play on the JJ to JJ montra. Again, I'll chalk it up to just so much going on (even Gretzky messaged him while talking, which was funny), but I was a little disappointed he didn't reference the players by name as the reporters kept teeing it up for him to do.

My opinion: JJM may not know the names of all his team mates just yet. More likely as a leader of a team he is looking to lead the whole team not individuals.
Entering a team speak of the team as a whole. After some "greatness" is achieved call out those that contributed.

I kind of like that JJM did not specifically mention names.
Turner just came across very genuine for me. Just sounds like he truly believes this is a good fit for him.

Maybe you both are right that it's probably best he didn't mention names.
