NFL News NFL News, Reports and Updates
The 2024 NFL Scouting combine is here, and not only does it mean that the next generation of NFL stars are showing off their skills in on-field drills, they are also getting to meet the vast NFL media for the first time.
That has led to some very notable quotes and interactions out of Indianapolis over the last few days, with everything from old college teammates joking around to answers about whether outer space and birds are real — and what one top wide receiver prospect would do if a plane was going down.

As the combine heads into its home stretch and NFL Draft season gets underway in earnest, here are some of the most buzzworthy moments coming out of the combine.

J.J. McCarthy names three wide receivers he would want to throw too, including a surprise
Of course Michigan quarterback J.J.

McCarthy said he was wowed by watching the current Seahawks pass-catcher in person during rivalry games against the Buckeyes, and said he’s allowed to shout out an Ohio State star after being 3-0 against Michigan’s archrivals.
McCarthy also said part of the reason he entered the NFL Draft after winning a national championship at Michigan was based on the advice of his college coach Jim Harbaugh, who now leads the Los Angeles Chargers.
