Ryan Kelly may be new to the Minnesota Vikings but he is already taking notice of his new quarterback and his leadership.

Vikings fans will get their own looks at projected starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy, rebuilt offensive and defensive lines and their favorite returning stars on Saturday for the first of 12 open practices this summer at training camp at TCO Performance Center in Eagan.

McCarthy, 22, is the unquestioned starting quarterback of the Vikings. But that doesn't mean they aren't setting an expectation for ups and downs.

Here are more takeaways from Day 3 of training camp: Not much to report from the practice on Friday afternoon as most everything was done at a pace resembling that of a walkthrough.
