West Bloomfield four-star running back Donovan Edwards has kept his nickname for Michigan football quarterback commit J.J. McCarthy a secret.

Until now.

McCarthy's nickname is "Tom Brady," which was given to him by Edwards because he thinks the quarterback will grow up and have a career similar to the former Wolverine and six-time Super Bowl champion.

“J.J. is like Tom Brady in my eyes,” Edwards said.
