Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy has the potential to be a first-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft if he decides to forego his senior season. However, it’s not a cut and dry situation, otherwise McCarthy would have made his choice by now.
McCarthy’s focused solely on beating Alabama in the Rose Bowl on Monday afternoon, but the buzz surrounding his draft status continues to mount. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh’s advice to McCarthy is to stay in the present moment, but Harbaugh also sees a player in McCarthy with NFL talent.
“One-track mind right now, just stay in the here and now, see if you can’t dominate this day,” Harbaugh said this week.
