Having realized what must have been a lifelong dream at the recent NFL Draft, JJ McCarthy is spending some time with his other half on a vacation in the Bahamas.
The former Michigan Wolverines quarterback was selected by the Minnesota Vikings as the No. 10 overall pick in April following his run to the national championship with said program in January.
“If you’re going to draft a quarterback you hope is one of the faces of your franchise—and there’s no real evaluation to that—there’s a lot of positives that can come out of it watching them in that setting,” head coach Kevin O’Connell said after the draft. “J.J. was absolutely that. … I left campus that day thinking that we could build around J.J. McCarthy.”
JJ can afford to take his foot off the gas now as he will have a few more weeks before getting to work with the team, and he’s done just that.
The QB is chilling in the islands with his fiancee, Katya Kuropas. And they’ve both taken to Instagram to share some intimate snaps.
You can check them out in the slide below:
JJ McCarthy And Katya Kuropas Have Been Together Since High School
McCarthy and Kuropas have been an item since they attended the Nazareth Academy near Chicago. They maintained their bond after he transferred to IMG Academy and was with him through his time in Ann Arbor.
“I honestly do not even know where I would be without this girl in my life. I simply do not deserve her because of the kind of woman she is,” the QB said on their third anniversary.
“The pureness in her heart and soul is just one the many qualities that make this girl so incredible.”
Katya was a staple at her boyfriend’s college games and was expectedly happy for him after the Vikings took him at No. 10 last week.
“Extremely delayed but… Reminiscing on how amazing this past season was,” she wrote. “An abundance of blessings and the best memories. Feeling so grateful for everything that unfolded & for everyone that was part of it!! Sad to see this chapter go, but excited for the next one.”
JJ McCarthy will soon get down to convincing O’Connell he’s ready to start in Minnesota. But until then, Katya will have full access.
