Minnesota is moving full steam ahead with J.J. McCarthy under center, and everyone from the top down has nothing but confidence in the second-year quarterback.

The latest Vikings member to speak up from a long line of admirers of the 22-year-old is co-owner and president Mark Wilf, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.

"He has a gravitational pull as a leader. He really does," Wilf said Wednesday during an interview with KFAN's Paul Allen, via the team website. "The talent is there. Coach (Kevin) O'Connell is glowing in his praises of how he's handled everything, and from an off-the-field perspective, we couldn't be happier. So all things are pointing the right direction, and we're going to be supporting J.J. to have him be the success we want him to be."
