In fact, Michigan often was content to run the ball and suffocate opponents with their defense, which left McCarthy doing very little. But now McCarthy has entered the 2024 NFL Draft and has a chance to show teams what he can do. And at least one team has the former Wolverines quarterback high on their draft board.Destin Adams, who covers the Indianapolis Colts, reported on X Wednesday that NFL teams are much higher on McCarthy than he had imagined.…

All seven of those players saw time on the field this past season but the results weren’t quite what the…
