The Michigan football team took care of business vs. Alabama in the College Football Playoff semi-final on Monday night at the Rose Bowl, capturing the hearts and minds of NFL scouts in the process. The 2024 NFL Draft takes place in downtown Detroit, Michigan giving the Wolverines’ top players a chance to stump for potential appearances on stage during the draft process this spring.
As the Wolverines prepare for the biggest game in the program’s recent history, perhaps since 1997’s national title-clinching win over Ryan Leaf and the Washington State Cougars, the time has come to discuss Michigan players to watch in regards to their draft position on Monday night.
JJ McCarthy-Â
The La Grange Park, Illinois native silenced many doubts about his ability to take over a big game with his precision last minute drive against Alabama on Monday.
McCarthy has been seen as a mystery among many NFL scouts and has certainly been ranked behind the likes of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels.
Against Washington McCarthy will have to prove he can sustain excellence on the biggest stage. He didn’t play his best football down the stretch of the 2023-2024 season with his coach Jim Harbaugh suspended.
