Greenard pointed out McCarthy’s constant presence in the team facility, even throughout the offseason.<\/p>\n
The quarterback’s work ethic is, to say the least, impressive.<\/p>\n
“Seeing J.J. continue to work his tail off, be that same guy as the first day I met him, still checking in on guys, ‘How you doing?’ A lot of people don’t do that. They ask it, [but] they’re just saying, ‘How you doing?’ to check off a box,” Greenard said. “I mean, he genuinely wants to know like, ‘Hey, how are you doing? How’s your family doing?’ And that’s what you want out of your quarterback, a younger guy, as well, especially when he has this grand opportunity in front of him.<\/p>\n
“Man, we’re all behind him,” Greenard added. “We’re all standing 10 toes with J. He’s definitely a likable guy, and you want to see a guy like him succeed. So it makes it easier for us to root him on.”<\/p>\n
As McCarthy looks ahead to upcoming OTAs, minicamp and training camp, he knows he’s got the entire team behind him and is prepared to continue proving himself in the best way he knows how.<\/p>\n
“I’ve gotta win it myself every single day, win competition with myself,” he said. “It’s putting your best body of work, my best body of work, out there. It comes with looking myself in the mirror every night. ‘Did I get better?’<\/p>\n
“I’ve got to do everything I can to make sure I’m the best version of myself come game day,” McCarthy later added. “Just put out that body of work they’re going to see on a day-to-day basis. You know, show up. Be consistent, be dependable, be a true pro, and the rest will take care of itself.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Greenard pointed out McCarthy’s constant presence in the team facility, even throughout the offseason.
