All you people making insensitive jokes about OJ today! It’s really sad that you take cheap stabs at him. So sad. I bet most of you were just sharpening your knives waiting for this day! Shame on all of you!
J.J. McCarthy's heard all about his low passing volume in Michigan's run-first offense. And frankly, he doesn't care about any perceived statistical shortcomings. But he did take the opportunity to show off his right arm in Indianapolis.
Unlike three of the most highly regarded quarterbacks in this class -- Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels -- McCarthy chose to throw during Saturday's on-field workout. While the 21-year-old didn't titillate evaluators to the degree C.J. Stroud did a year ago, McCarthy earned plaudits from NFL Network draft guru Daniel Jeremiah at various points during his workout, with Jeremiah complimenting the zip on his ball and clean footwork.
"He's a pure thrower, very loose, very fluid," Jeremiah said during the broadcast.
NFL Network's Peter Schrager provided a positive review of his own, supplemented by some interesting reporting.
"He went out there, competed and threw the ball very, very well," Schrager said on the broadcast. "I got a text from an NFL evaluator, very respected one, saying, 'Of all these guys, McCarthy translates to the NFL the most.' He had an outstanding day out here."
This tracks with earlier reporting on Saturday from NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, who said before McCarthy's on-field workout that general managers are highly intrigued by the Michigan product's upside, suggesting he could be the third quarterback on some teams' boards.
McCarthy actually made a bit of news before even hitting the Lucas Oil Stadium turf for positional drills, assuaging any concerns about his frame by checking in at 6-foot-2 1/2 and a robust 219 pounds. While he didn't run the 40-yard dash or perform the jumps, citing a bit of hamstring tightness, McCarthy did complete the three-cone drill in a swift 6.82 seconds, exhibiting the kind of athleticism that will only boost his draft stock.
All in all, a very productive trip to Indy for a polarizing QB prospect who appears destined for Round 1.
The fact that McCarthy decided to throw in Indianapolis -- after the most highly touted QB prospects declined to do so -- was a checkmark in the favor of the national championship-winning quarterback. With so much on the line, he could have waited for the friendly confines of his pro day or a private workout to throw in front of NFL teams. McCarthy's arm strength looked just fine on Saturday. He displayed a nice arc on 60-yard passes that should show evaluators he can stretch the field more than he needed to in Michigan's offense. His footwork and timing were not perfect on every pass, and he sailed a couple of cross-field throws, but overall, he made a strong case to be one of the top three quarterbacks drafted this year.
Guessing you were looking for the dude that had a women's pom-poms covering his face, hoping that you were next in line. Junior...well...maybe next year son.😉
Ryan Day runs McCord to the transfer portal, and puts all his eggs in the Devin Brown basket. He gets hurt and can barely walk, but Day keeps him in, not giving a damn if Brown potentially suffers an even more serious injury. Eventually he takes him out, as I'm sure the medical staff is insistent on it.
If I had a son being recruited by Day, I'd advise him to stay away. 🙄😒

Happy Easter to all. Yes, he has risen indeed.
Don't sell yourself short, you're a tremendous schmo. 😏

Need to get others involved in the offense now that we've taken them to OT. Dug can't continue to force shots like he did in the last 5 mins.
Well, as a football coach possibly, but I think he's a shrewd businessman to take advantage of his notoriety by opening a chain of party stores.
