#NFLVideos: What did you learn about QBs at ’24 combine’

What did you learn about QBs at ’24 combine’

Such a special group, making a case for himself. JJ McCarthy is other things we learned about the quarterback class at the 2024 Scouting Combine. Peter McCarthy competed and I love that. And so did Michael Penix Jr. Those guys competed. Now JJ’s interview there was just part of the whole piece in that

He interviewed really well with teams. He comes in, he is dialed in. I mean, this is like you’re talking about a pro’s pro as far as saying the right things and knowing how to get on the board. I was told by one team that he got up on the board and was able

To dissect things that no other quarterback that they met with could yesterday. So that tells you he’s got the Mentals. My thought was all right. He answered that question well, but this is going to haunt him against Penn State. They ran the ball 32 straight times without attempting a pass. That’s like

Jimmy Garoppolo in that NFC Championship game where they blow out the Packers. And he only threw eight passes. And we held it against Garoppolo like he only threw eight passes. It does JJ have the arm strength that he threw the ball pretty well. Now he missed a couple I’m

Not going to come in here and sugarcoat it and tell you he was awesome. He was fine. The part that I thought was interesting is he weighed in and he was six two, 220 I think going and people thought six one 200 612 205. So now you’re talking 622

20 has lost three times since high school and his entire life and can throw the ball fine and is amazing on the board and is obviously a leader and has done that with a bunch of alphas at Michigan. It was cool to watch him. He was celebratory for

Everybody at the combine. If you see Worthy’s 40, it’s JJ McCarthy running down and celebrating with him. First. Like I think he had a really, really good week. Um, does it make him a surefire top ten pick? I don’t know if he did anything that’s going to say yes

. Put the card right now. Well, that’s the thing we’re not talking about. Of course you should be drafted and go on and hopefully have a great career. We’re talking about him going in the top ten. And look, we’re in an era of phenoms and freaks physically, athletically. Like I

Kind of want some of that 32 straight times. It’s not his fault he’s not calling the plays, but I think I think he’s in danger. If there’s a comp that jumps to mind and it’s AJ McCarron and it’s a guy who’s a winner and winner and winner and

Is almost exactly the same size, about six two, 215, 220. And AJ McCarron did not go on to win Super Bowls. He had a long career and we love him and everything, but that’s not a top ten pick. You fall in love with a guy who wins and there’s this

Old fashioned thing about winning, but like, I don’t really remember much of substance about Patrick Mahomes college career. I know he put up a lot of numbers. Josh Allen’s college career, and no one really saw, like, I don’t really care that much that you won. I really don’t as a quarterback.

It’s not I don’t it’s fine, I get it. I don’t think it’s irrelevant. But like with those guys on the board and top ten and I’m looking at the quarterback field in the NFL right now, I’m like, man, he won it. Just give me someone who’s do you think athletic? Do you

Think it matters how you win in college to the point of like for J.J. McCarthy or AJ McCarron when these guys have first round draft picks around them or for J.J. McCarthy, you’re running the ball 100 times. Jamie, what was the number? 18 different players from Michigan were at

The combine. Yes, it was the highest 18. The highest ever. Yeah. I don’t want to crucify the kid I hate that. Yeah, an awesome guy. And I really respect what he did. Top ten pick rare air. Rare air. Definitely. And I was going to talk about Joe Milton because to

Me, like somebody like him, you go on to combine where you’re not expected to be these top guys and you put up some of these crazy throwing numbers, how far you throw, how hard you throw it. It was so impressive. And Peter, you said it earlier, people killed you for posting

His 70 yard throw because like, oh, who cares? But to me, like that’s a lot of what the combine is because we’re looking at all these quarterbacks. And you talked about everybody’s a surefire, surefire Hall of Famer. Nobody really criticized anybody. You said JJ missed a few throws, but Michael Penix

Did great. Bo Nix did great. Seemed like every quarterback that went out there and threw the ball. We talk about how great of a passer they were and how great they looked in the t shirt and the shorts. The three guys that are going to go off the board first, probably none

Of those guys even competed. So I look at this and it’s like it’s fun to talk about, and it’s fascinating for these guys to get out there, especially to me, like a Michael Penix Jr and show what you can do. He’s already at the top though, so I look at it

And you’re missing three of the guys that are the guys, but then we criticize a guy like Joe Milton because he threw the ball 70 yards. But that’s their opportunity. When I’m not as high as these other guys, I have to showcase something to try to get in that conversation.

Another really polarizing name I found, at least on social media, and the reaction to his workout was Bo Nix coming out of that weekend. I don’t know if it’s because the guy played 61 college football games. Like, is it almost like too much of a good thing people were getting

On him? Like, oh yeah, these routes are fine, but just wait until he’s like short handing a screen pass. It’s like, don’t blame the guy for the playbook that he was operating within. And he did well at Oregon and he did find it at Auburn. And the growth and the development that

This 24 year old man is going to have in arrive with and experience wise from the NCAA to the NFL, I think is invaluable. He had a good day. Same with kind of same with JJ McCarthy. He made good throws. He missed some. But he had a really good

Presence about him too. And the way people were kind of ripping Bo Nix at times. It felt like you go to click on that person’s profile. It’s like, oh, you are an Auburn fan or a Auburn fan and you just maybe didn’t like the fact that he lost a game or

Two and you didn’t want it. But I thought Bo Nix handled himself well, too, Peter. And he could be a late round or a late first round guy, too. Yeah, and he did the senior Bowl, which everyone loves, because as far as a competitor, I don’t think late

Round. I think Bo Nix is a day two pick. Like I think he’s a guy that goes in the second, third or fourth round. I you know McCarthy. We go back to him. It’s like Giants have the sixth pick. Um Danny Jones has one more year to prove it

Obviously. Like that’s going to be a real. Is that to Rich six overall for McCarthy I feel like I’ve just heard so many people for so many years saying this young man, this young man, this young man, he’s a winner. He’s a winner. I’ve heard it about AJ McCarron and Colt McCoy. I’ve

Heard it about Tebow. Like Tebow. I don’t like that when it comes to the first thing it says, he’s a winner. I understand there’s a lot to like six overall. How about Atlanta eight? It’s high man. It’s really high. I don’t want that big of a doubt that high. So the

Overall thought is that in some order it would be Caleb one. And then Maye and Daniels they’d all be gone in the top five. And then it’s this like great unknown for McCarthy. Panic Nix panics all those guys all those guys. And it’s you know Daniel Jeremiah said yesterday we could

Have 5 or 6 in the first round like they are like maybe Nick sneaks into the first round. McCarthy to me might be the most fascinating because of the chicken and the egg. Amazing winner. Amazing decorated career as an individual. Is he the one
