00:01J.J. McCarthy went viral before throwing his first pass for the New York Giants thanks
00:06to an unusual pregame workout.
00:19The newly acquired quarterback repeatedly rotated his hips and moved through exaggerated throwing
00:24motions while warming up on the field.
00:26The routine immediately reminded fans of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott's famous hip activation
00:33drill, giving the Giants' NFC East rivalry an unexpected new visual comparison.
00:38There is no indication that McCarthy was deliberately copying Prescott, but the resemblance was difficult
00:44for viewers to ignore.
00:46The Giants acquired McCarthy from Minnesota for a 2027 fifth-round pick after Jackson Dart
00:52suffered a season-ending knee injury.
00:54Minnesota selected him 10th overall in 2024, but knee surgery cost him his entire rookie
01:01season, and further injuries limited his opportunity in 2025.
01:05Now, McCarthy is beginning a new chapter in New York, and his warm-up has already attracted
01:11attention.
