After O’Connell’s press conference, ESPN Vikings reporter Kevin Seifert presented Vikings safety Joshua Metellus with the 2024 Korey Stringer Media Good Guy award. Voted on by local Vikings beat writers, the award is given each year to a play who demonstrates great authenticity and cooperation with the media.

“Thank you for being on the ride with us,” Metellus said to the crowd of media members. “It’s been a long a journey, and we ain’t done yet. But I appreciate you all for being so respectful.”
