Cincinnati Bengals backup quarterback A.J. McCarron turned some heads during the team’s offseason practices. NFL Media’s Albert Breer is reporting that the coaching staff in Cincinnati thinks McCarron is “fully capable of becoming a starting-quality player.”
This news follows earlier comments made by Bengals defensive end Wallace Gilberry, who boasted that McCarron was “doing awesome” and improving on his throwing motion.
To top off these observations, Breer also reported that McCarron was showing off “top-notch pocket presence.” While this news sounds promising for McCarron, it is unlikely that he will threaten Andy Dalton for the starting job.
