Sure, he got drafted but the day was a rough one for A.J. McCarron as all of his flaw started to get talked about in a way they hadn’t before. From his on-field mechanical issues to questions about whether or not his teammates even liked him at all, McCarron’s day was only slightly made better by getting drafted. At the end of the day, he’ll be a backup at best with the Bengals and won’t take over for Dalton unless he truly shows something special.
