A little more than a month remains until the NFL draft, and hopefuls are working hard to move up the selection board. Mostly, at least on
the first day of the draft, we know where the majority of players will end up. Plenty of time remains for candidates like as Michigan
quarterback J.J. McCarthy, a projected top-10 draft choice, to demonstrate their merit as a first-round selection.
Over the past few months, McCarthy has advanced on the draft boards. He’s been a part of a successful program his whole collegiate
career, and he’s contributed to the Wolverines reaching new heights. He had the opportunity to prove to scouts and NFL clubs that he is
the genuine thing at the Michigan Pro Day, and he more than fulfilled that expectation. Watch this video to see his amazing deep ball,
which left everyone in attendance in awe.
Even though it’s only one clip, the throw was really amazing. Still, the NFL “experts” on Twitter weren’t impressed and didn’t hold back
when voicing their opinions.
Although I have to admit that I’m not a huge admirer of J.J. McCarthy, his accomplishments and résumé cannot be disputed. Yes, he was
a member of a fantastic program run by Jim Harbaugh, the former head coach of the Chargers, but as a starter, he accomplished what was
required to lead his team to a 27-1 record. McCarthy said he wanted to demonstrate to reporters, including Austin Meek of The Athletic,
that he could make throws similar to those in the NFL after his Pro Day.
According to Austin Meek of TheAthletic.com, McCarthy stated, “I just wanted to showcase the questions they had about out-breakers to
the left and putting some air on the deep posts, stuff like that.” “I thought I had done that today. I feel rather secure in the performance I put on.”
The Minnesota Vikings, who have a potent offensive line and many of weapons, might be the team he signs with, and his career could take
a complete turn around. McCarthy is widely projected to be the fourth quarterback selected in the 2018 draft, behind LSU’s Jayden
Daniels, USC’s Caleb Willaims, and North Carolina’s Drake Maye. Although there are a lot of talented quarterbacks in this class, not all of
them will live up to the expectations for various reasons.
The 21-year-old finished his senior year with a completion percentage of 72.3%, 240 completions, 2991 passing yards, 9.0 yards per
attempt, and 22 touchdowns to only four interceptions. McCarthy is prepared to prove that he has evolved from his Ann Arbor persona.
