Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar, here inside TCO

Performance Center with Dane Mizatani, the Pioneer Press, and we just got finished watching

JJ McCarthy's first inaugural OTA practice. But we do have thoughts on that o'ta practice and we

listen to him talk as well and kevin o'connell about j j mccarthy so there actually was a good

amount of takeaways and look at this look at all these notes that i took from this practice so i did

write down every throw of j.J. McCarthy's,

along with some lineup notes, some injury notes,

a lot to get into, including right here at the top,

who was taking punt return reps.

So that's making the most of an OTA practice.

But why don't we begin exactly where everyone wants us to begin.

Dane, the question of the decade.

How did J.J. McCarthy look?

I think he looked pretty good.

and I will approach Monday's OTA workout session

and mandatory minicamp in a couple of weeks

with the guys of, okay, let's not make too much about this. But I can't help myself after watching

him sling the ball around today. Look, I don't think we can pencil him in as future Hall of

Fame or they're going to win the Super Bowl this year.

But in terms of looking like he's picking up right where he left off last year when he suffered the torn meniscus,

I think we can confidently say yes, that's kind of where he's at in his progression.
