Kurt Warner has ‘huge’ J.J. McCarthy question before 2024 NFL Draft
NY Post
There’s a “huge” J.J. McCarthy question on Kurt Warner’s mind ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft next week.
The Hall of Famer quarterback discussed the former Michigan product Friday during an appearance on ESPN’s “Get Up,” with the conversation centered around McCarthy’s arm as his draft stock continues to rise entering Thursday’s first round.
“Definitely a bunch of things to like, I like the technique by which he plays, obviously you like the fact that he won a lot of football games, but if I’m drafting someone in the top five, I want to know that I can trust him to win games with his right arm,” Warner said.
“… We never saw the pressure on him to have to make throw after throw after throw, week after week to carry his football team, you will have to do that in the National Football League with the way the league is built, with the talent at the quarterback position, so that is a huge question for me because we’ve never seen it.”
Warner’s comments echo a similar sentiment among scouts as to whether or not McCarthy can shoulder the load often asked of NFL quarterbacks.
McCarthy, who went 27-1 at Michigan, is coming off a national championship win in which he completed 10 of 18 passes for 140 yards and zero touchdowns in the 34-13 victory over Washington.
The Ravens are likely already at a disadvantage heading into Saturday.
