J.J. McCarthyQB

McCarthy demonstrated strong arm strength in training camp, drilling wide receivers with velocity on shorter routes; one notable example involved hitting Josh Oliver in the back of the end zone on a red zone drill with such force the ball ricocheted off Oliver's outstretched hand and hit the crossbar hard enough to ring and shake it. This led to a discussion with Kevin O'Connell, presumably regarding velocity management.

Source transcript excerpt
I remember one time McCarthy hit Josh Oliver in the back of the end zone in a red zone drill and the ball went off Oliver's outstretched hand and hit the crossbar so hard it rang like a bell and caused the it to shake back and forth afterward. That led to a brief discussion with Kevin O'Connell- presumably regarding managing velocity.
