J.J. McCarthy of the University of Michigan is one of the most intriguing quarterbacks in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft. Prior to this season, McCarthy wasn’t thought to be one of the top quarterbacks to emerge from college football.
But in the last month or so, McCarthy has reportedly received more attention and accolades than any other quarterback in this draft class, which has caused him to soar up all the experts’ selection boards.
There is absolutely no chance that McCarthy will be selected as the first quarterback taken in the draft, despite the belief of his former Wolverines head coach and current Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh. This is because the Chicago Bears will probably not pass up the chance to select USC standout Caleb Williams.
McCarthy is in the conversation to go No. 2 to the Washington Commanders, surpassing Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye, even if he very surely won’t go No. 1 to Chicago.
McCarthy’s ability to say the correct things is one of his advantages, according to NFL Network.
It’s now impossible to predict what the Commanders will do at No. 2. The struggling team may select Maye, as most had anticipated, but McCarthy may play draft spoiler and be selected before Daniels and/or Maye.
