Jim Harbaugh continued his praise of J.J. McCarthy at the NFL’s league meetings on Monday, with a division rival hinting that they might be in on the Michigan quarterback.
The Los Angeles Chargers head coach doubled down on his take on McCarthy’s standing among the quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft, telling reporters he believes his former signal-caller is “the best quarterback in the draft.” But Harbaugh’s praise of McCarthy didn’t stop there as he gushed over his Pro Day workout as well.
“That was the best I’ve ever seen a quarterback do at a Pro Day,” Harbaugh told reporters of McCarthy’s workout. “Not only were his feet great, individual drills, but then he started throwing, and every throw was right there. I thought the receivers did a great job, too. They all had a great day.
“That was the best throwing day I’ve ever seen.”
Harbaugh first proclaimed that McCarthy is the best quarterback prospect in this year’s draft class in an interview on “The Herd” in early February, telling Colin Cowherd at the time that he’d climb up draft boards once teams start to meet with him.
As the combine and Michigan’s Pro Day have come and gone, Harbaugh believes his prediction is becoming reality.
“Hearing coaches and GMs come up to me saying, ‘Great job with J.J.’ Like I predicted. Once they were around him — I was hearing stories about how he is on the board, on the field, the little things, the intangibles. It was absolutely no surprise whatsoever,” Harbaugh said. “There was raving. It was great to hear, incredible to hear. I know it’s sincere. It was unsolicited. There were numerous, numerous GMs and numerous, numerous head coaches who couldn’t say enough good things.
“And it was [the best I’ve ever seen a quarterback do at a Pro Day]. You could just see it. Literally, I’ve never seen a better one.”
