We’re just under two weeks away from the 2024 NFL draft and the player that has most prognosticators in something of a quandary is Michigan football quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
McCarthy wasn’t even considered a top-flight NFL draft pick before the regular season ended last year, though he was in some first-round mock drafts. Before the scouting combine, most thought of him as being a late first day pick, but after a stellar throwing session there and at his pro day, McCarthy started climbing rapidly up the draft boards. He went from being outside of the top 10 to suddenly a potential top five pick.
