Harrison Phillips: J.J. McCarthy reminds me of Josh Allen understanding power he has to lead
Our Summary
Defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, formerly with the Buffalo Bills and now with the Minnesota Vikings, has observed parallels between his former teammate, quarterback Josh Allen, and emerging Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Phillips praised McCarthy for his inquisitiveness, leadership qualities, and initiative in creating team camaraderie, much like Allen did early in his career. Despite McCarthy still developing, Phillips believes his approach this offseason indicates a promising trajectory similar to Allen’s progression in the NFL.
