Michigan football quarterback pinned as a top 5 NFL Draft pick

So far this fall, JJ McCarthy has thrown for nearly 1,100 yards, ten touchdowns, and three picks, all while completing over 79% of his passes and leading the nation in QBR (94.2). Additionally, the junior Michigan football quarterback is yet to take a single snap in the fourth quarter this fall, yet he continues to post impressive numbers nonetheless.

Yesterday, Pro Football Focus released their latest NFL Draft mock-up for the coming 2024 cycle. In this new draft, JJ McCarthy is pinned as a top-5 draft pick, going at pick No. 5 to the NFC North’s Minnesota Vikings.

Ahead of JJ McCarthy in this new mock draft are names like Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr., Drake Maye, and Laiatu Latu.

Michigan football fans have always known that JJ McCarthy was bound to be a special talent, and through five games of the 2023 season, it’s clear that the next level is starting to take note as well.
