J.J. McCarthy was highly accomplished during his career at Michigan, but he didn’t always get a chance to showcase his skills. 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. Adams even says he was told one team has McCarthy ranked as their No. 2 QB in the draft.
