Next up in the summer scouting series is a player with significant potential to rise well above most current projections: Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.

With another season for the Wolverines like he had in 2022, McCarthy could very well play his way into the top-10 of the 2024 NFL draft (if he declares). But there are a few areas he needs to get better at to make that happen.
