J.J. McCarthy Finishes Interviews With 6 NFL Giants, Expected to Take Huge Call Tomorrow

JJ McCarthy is all set on his way to becoming the next superstar of the NFL! He already has a National Championship, three consecutive Big Ten championships, and a Rose Bowl win, lining up his resume for further championships. With the college football accolades set, McCarthy is now making his way toward the NFL draft, being one of the projected top picks for several franchises, to put it simply.

The race to sign JJ McCarthy is an intense one, with NFL heavyweights in the mix. According to the latest announcement by Anthony Broome, a Michigan Wolverines reporter, McCarthy is in talks with not one or two, but 5 NFL Giants: The Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Las Vegas Raiders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the first-round pick holder Chicago Bears. McCarthy has engaged in talks with all of them.

More importantly, per Broome, the hot-in-demand Michigan QB is also expected to make an announcement related to it tomorrow. McCarthy might need to be extensively careful while playing his cards for this one as the conception of his NFL career depends on it. However, the decision also depends on the roster needs of the respective teams, and their preferences, of course.

Yet, the final decision rests in McCarthy’s hands. Heightening fans’ anticipation around the news, Broome issued another update on McCarthy’s NFL career. Per the Michigan Wolverines reporter, McCarthy is set to announce his choice tomorrow! While the teams still being open to changes in their draft prospects, the one winning the JJ McCarthy race would be (possibly) finalized by tomorrow.

Which team would McCarthy pick?

Among the 6 NFL Giants, the Chicago Bears have to go first in making their pick, and several reports have shown the team leaning towards picking a QB. But several reports suggest that they might go for the bulkier ones like Drake Maye or Caleb Williams. Speaking of the Patriots, because of the inconsistent coaching, Jones is not looking as promising. With them having the third pick, they are expected to make a tough choice between McCarthy and Mac Jones. Even the Raiders are expected to choose JJ McCarthy as their 7th-round pick, per Raiders.com. However, the ultimate choice will rest in McCarthy’s hands, something for which the fans won’t have to wait much.

Well, ESPN’s Mei Kiper is ready with his prediction on McCarthy’s situation. Per Keiper, the QB is likely projected to be Broncos as the No.12 Overall pick. Moreover, McCarthy was the No. 16 Seahawks pick on Kiper’s previous mock draft. It might seem too soon for the fans, but the reason for the haste might be something else.

The cause for the haste is expected to be McCarthy’s injury in the NFL Combine week. The QB is set to miss out on the all-important 40-yard dash and long jump. While it is nothing major, Broome reported it to be a ‘slight hamstring tweak’. Yet the severity of it is not official. Will this injury impact McCarthy’s future in the NFL?
