JJ McCarthy continues to garner enthusiastic praise.
It will be intriguing to observe JJ McCarthy’s draft position in April, particularly after showcasing his skills during the combine and Michigan’s pro day. According to Jim Harbaugh, McCarthy is hailed as the best quarterback in the history of the University of Michigan, supported by his outstanding 27-1 win/loss record as a starter. Despite not posting eye-popping numbers due to Michigan’s pro-style, run-first offense, McCarthy’s exceptional talent becomes evident when watching him play. Despite limited running responsibilities, he displays remarkable speed and athleticism, demonstrating the ability to make every throw on the field.
As McCarthy enters his 28th start, the anticipation grows around how he will perform in the combine and pro day. Expected to impress with extraordinary athleticism and a stellar set of intangibles, teams will need to decide where to place him in the draft.
Bleacher Report’s NFL Insider Jordan Schultz has discussed the potential draft placement for McCarthy. Analysts consistently project him higher, with Schultz suggesting the Minnesota Vikings at No. 11 overall, and ESPN’s Matt Miller recently placing him at No. 13 to the Las Vegas Raiders. McCarthy’s trajectory indicates he could bring immense value to a franchise, and if the trend continues, he might even be a top-ten pick.
