Jim Harbaugh evaluates how J.J. McCarthy’s ‘on fire’ and making ‘NFL caliber throws’

J.J. McCarthy came to Michigan as a five-star quarterback who could blossom into one of the finest playmakers to ever play for the Wolverines. Now in his third season, McCarthy’s career is living up to those high expectations.

On Monday, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh evaluated McCarthy’s play through the first two weeks of the season.

“So explosive in the passing game. J.J. is phenomenal,” Harbaugh said. “So on fire. So on point. The throws that he is making from the pocket. Doing severe damage when he leaves the pocket. Keeps his eyes downfield. Getting big chunk plays and yardage.
