On Monday, the New York Giants made a significant move at the quarterback position by acquiring J.J. McCarthy from Minnesota following Jameis Winston's poor performance in Week 3. Former NFL offensive lineman Kyle Long provided some guidance to McCarthy in a recent segment, emphasizing the importance of clear messaging and the need for McCarthy to approach this next phase of his career with an open mind.
"I think the understanding has to be clear, the messaging has to be clear to this young man," Long stated on Tuesday via NFL on CBS. "Jameis is the guy and when the guy with the diamonds comes back he’s playing quarterback. So don’t get it twisted young man, none of this nine. I don’t care what your number is, you’re here to learn how to play the quarterback position, learn how to be a professional."
Long also shared some regrets from his own career, highlighting the value of learning from mistakes. He added that social media can sometimes capture moments that are regrettable. Regardless, Long believes that McCarthy's opportunity to restart in a new locker room with the Giants is a good situation for both parties. The Giants have welcomed McCarthy with open arms, but it remains to be seen if he will become the franchise quarterback for the team.
McCarthy's debut will be an exciting moment to watch, especially with the Giants' next game against the Cardinals scheduled for Week 4.
