J.J. McCarthy is quickly becoming one of the most polarizing prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Which Team will Draft J.J. McCarthy in 2024 NFL Draft?
Teams in Top 12 Considering J.J. McCarthy
Dane Brugler of The Athletic is seemingly a buyer of the McCarthy steam inside the top half of the first round, mentioning that there are several top 12 teams that will be considering the Michigan prospect.
This week is a huge opportunity for JJ McCarthy. He should crush the interviews and NFL eyes will be glued to his throwing session.

I don't think he'll reach the top-3 QB mix, but several teams in the top-12 picks will be considering him. https://t.co/Ydsw6Miwkg
In turn, most of the team's at the top of the odds board to select McCarthy are those teams picking inside the top 12 and likely in the market for a signal caller, including the Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos.
It appears that the knock on McCarthy, that the Wolverines winning the National Championship without him throwing the ball as much as some of the top quarterbacks in the draft, is a bit overstated and people in the league aren't concerned.
In Jim Harbaugh's last 17 years as a head coach, his teams have attempted more passes than runs twice.

Excluding 2020 COVID season, he has done it once.
Even with Andrew Luck at Stanford, he ran the ball.
2009: 63% run
2010: 59%
Massive philosophical change from Kellen Moore.
There is no direct tie between McCarthy and an NFL team, but it's clear that McCarthy's stock is on the rise as the news continues to come out from Indianapolis, Indiana this week.
