McCarthy, a 2024 first-round pick who finds himself behind Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz on Minnesota's depth chart. McCarthy played for Harbaugh's older brother, Jim, at Michigan and found success when leaning on a strong running game.

McCarthy's Michigan connection and ground-game fit make him buy-low trade target.

McCarthy, a 2024 first-round pick, is behind Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz on Minnesota's depth chart and could be explored via trade by the Giants. He has struggled to build momentum in his professional career but played for Jim Harbaugh (John's brother) at Michigan and found success leaning on a strong running game. The Giants' ground-heavy offensive preference could make McCarthy a better fit in New York than Minnesota, allowing the team to buy low on him as a cost-controlled insurance option behind Dart.
