J.J. McCarthy probably just wasn't a very good quarterback prospect to begin with. There were eyebrows raised around the league when the Vikings took him with the 10th pick given how rarely he was asked to throw at Michigan, where the offense really ran through a Blake Corum-led rushing attack.

Negative signalProjection

McCarthy lacked upside and arm strength compared to other top-10 QB busts.

The source argues McCarthy probably just wasn't a very good quarterback prospect to begin with. Eyebrows were raised around the league when the Vikings took him with the 10th pick given how rarely he was asked to throw at Michigan, where the offense really ran through a Blake Corum-led rushing attack. Unlike other top-10 QB busts like Trey Lance and Anthony Richardson Sr., McCarthy lacked the promise of significant untapped upside and high-end mobility and arm strength.
