Has McCarthy’s draft prospects gained more legitimacy as…
As time passes since Michigan’s national title game win, more positive reviews about JJ McCarthy are emerging. While Michigan fans are not surprised, others who are taking a closer look at him for the first time seem to be impressed.
Brett Whitefield of FantasyPoints.com recently released his first mock draft, naming McCarthy as his top quarterback prospect ahead of Caleb Williams and Drake Maye.
Whitefield praises McCarthy’s footwork, arm strength, athleticism, and overall arm talent, highlighting his winning record and pedigree, off-field preparation, maturity, and success in big college football games.
When Jim Harbaugh became the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, he publicly stated that McCarthy should and would be the No. 1 overall pick, initially seen as a show of support but now gaining credibility as the draft approaches.
