Elite11 Lead QB Instructor Craig Nall evaluates Michigan commit J.J. McCarthy, gives player comparison and more

Elite 11 Lead Quarterback Instructor and former NFL signal-caller Craig Nall was on hand in Nashville for the event last week, which saw Michigan Wolverines five-star commit J.J. McCarthy competing against some of the best arm talent in the country.

Nall spoke to Maize n Brew earlier this week to give his take on the performance and what he saw from a player that appears to have a bright future in college.

One of the things that shocked Nall the most was how quickly McCarthy adapted to coaching. The Elite 11 instructor cited an instance during a drill where the 17-year-old Michigan commit had to tinker with his footwork in his five-step drop while throwing seam routes.
