Second-year quarterback A.J. McCarron is having a nice offseason. After missing nearly the entirety of his rookie season due to shoulder issues, the Alabama product is rising fast. According to NFL pundit Albert Breer, McCarron is a player to watch as the offseason rolls on.
“While he’s still afflicted by some rookie mistakes, the coaches there now believe he’s fully capable of becoming a starting-quality player. And with his shoulder healed, McCarron is throwing the ball better than he ever has, showcases top-notch pocket presence and — as you would expect from a guy who led Alabama to back-to-back national championships — is displaying that the NFL stage isn’t too big for him.
