JJ McCarthy Roller Skating Highlights Show Off Incredible Athleticism
A JJ McCarthy roller skating has me questioning everything I thought I knew about the Michigan Man. I’ll be honest. I do not understand the JJ McCarthy NFL Draft hype. I think he’s a good player, but not top-10 in the draft good. I might need to change my stance after a JJ McCarthy roller skating video hit twitter/X on Monday night. I finally see the athleticism that everyone is talking about. He’s got it all; change of direction, a quick start/stop, and a natural knack for avoiding contact. Check it out for yourself. Here’s the JJ McCarthy roller skating video that’s got me questioning everything.

Oh my JJ! That is the sort of highlight package that I needed to see. I don’t care about the way you throw the ball, how accurate you are, or if you can learn a playbook. Those cuts make me think there’s no way he won’t be successful at the next level.
This JJ McCarthy roller skating highlight video is a montage of embarrassment.
But I feel for the first girl to go in on JJ. I mean, what was she thinking? This kid is going to the University of Michigan and you think you’re going to whack him with a half of a pool noodle?
I’m only half kidding about the JJ McCarthy roller skating highlight video. I am not putting him at the top of my quarterback rankings. That prestigious honor goes to Jayden Daniels. But this video of him on wheels putting other skaters on wheels is impressive.
You can see some of the same moves the way he navigates inside and outside of the pocket. There is still some work needed in the passing game for McCarthy. But I have long been of the opinion that athleticism can keep a raw product on the field while he learns the nuance of the game. It must be getting close to draft time. Because I am letting a JJ McCarthy roller skating highlight video influence what I think of a football player.
NFL Mock Draft 1.0: An Offense-Heavy Round 1
1. Bears: QB Caleb Williams, USC

Sure, there was some rumblings last week about Jayden Daniels potentially climbing to the top spot in the draft. Still, a lower quarterback getting floated as QB1 right around the Combine happens almost every year, and that rumor ends up materializing. Williams still looks to comfortably be the best quarterback in this draft, and everything the Bears have done to this point seems to indicate they plan on taking him. If they don’t, somebody else will in this spot after a trade.
2. Commanders: QB Jayden Daniels, LSU

The Daniels hype doesn’t feel real enough to get him to first overall, but it does feel real. There’s a lot to like about the 2023 Heisman Winner – especially if you’re new Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. Kingsbury’s offense emphasizes many of Daniels’ best traits. Given that influence, the Commanders make him the second pick.
3. New England Patriots: QB Drake Maye, UNC

We had the Patriots taking Maye with the third overall pick in our first Patriots mock draft of the year, and nothing since then has presented any reason to change that projection. If anything, it only seems to be more likely after both local and national reports out of Indy indicated that’s the way the Patriots are leaning (although some did indicate the team still hasn’t ultimately made a decision, as is expected).
If Maye ends up going second, they’d still likely take Daniels third and adjust as needed. There’s enough in common between the two that a general plan for the offseason should work for both.
While we have the Patriots making the same pick as our last draft, this mock does have a change. The Patriots have another first-round pick coming, so stick around…
4. Cardinals: WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State
4. Cardinals: WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State

The Cardinals need…a lot. They could certainly auction this pick off and get a haul to load up, but they already have two first-round picks this year. Instead they just take Harrison and add a blue-chip player to their offense as they try to maximize Kyler Murray’s value.
5. Jets (from Chargers): OT Joe Alt, Notre Dame

Jets get:
— 5th overall pick
— 139th overall pick (5th round)Chargers get:
— 10th overall pick
— 72nd pick (3rd round)
— 2025 2nd round pickAfter getting jumped by the Steelers for a tackle last year and seeing the consequences, the Jets aren’t about to make the same mistake again. They get aggressive in moving up the board, and snag the top tackle in the draft to protect Aaron Rodgers’ blindside. In this trade the Jets overpay 521-483 to move up.
6. Giants: WR Malik Nabers, LSU

Missing out on the top three quarterbacks, the Giants might be a trade-down candidate to accumulate assets in case they need to move up for a QB next year. Instead though, the front office tries to maximize this team and help their job security by getting Daniel Jones a true No. 1 weapon in Nabers.
7. Titans: TE Brock Bowers, Georgia

With Derrick Henry expected to leave in free agency and DeAndre Hopkins entering his age-32 season, the Titans need another planet player to build their offense around. They add Bowers to fill that role, pairing him with Chig Okonkwo under new offensive coordinator Nick Holz. Holz was a member of the Jaguars last year, when they ranked sixth in the NFL in usage of 12 personnel.
8. Falcons: OLB Dallas Turner, Alabama
8. Falcons: OLB Dallas Turner, Alabama

The Falcons have been linked to multiple veteran quarterbacks, so for now we’ll assume they’re not considering the position in the first round of this year’s draft. Instead, they make the first defensive pick of the draft, adding a projected elite pass rusher in Turner to a pass rush that ranked towards the bottom of the league in most major metrics last year.
9. Bears: WR Rome Odunze, Washington

The Bears get right to work putting weapons around Caleb Williams. Odunze is as well-rounded a receiver as you’ll see entering the NFL, and should be able to be a major contributor immediately. He’d be a great complement for D.J. Moore.
10. Saints (from Jets, via Chargers): OT Olu Fashanu, Penn State

Saints get:
— 10th overall pick (see Pick 5 for original trade details)
Chargers get:
— 14th overall pick
— 149th overall pick (5th round)
— 2025 2nd round pick.Jim Harbaugh gets to LA and immediately the Chargers start thinking outside the box. They move down a second time, adding yet another future second-round pick. Given their cap situation, the Chargers need as much draft capital as possible. Meanwhile the Saints look to build on Derek Carr’s strong close to the 2023 season, and get him some much needed pass protection.
11. Vikings: QB J.J. McCarthy, Michigan
11. Vikings: QB J.J. McCarthy, Michigan
ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN – NOVEMBER 25: J.J. McCarthy #9 of the Michigan Wolverines passes the ball against the Ohio State Buckeyes at Michigan Stadium on November 25, 2023 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
The league seems to be very high on McCarthy, so any team that wants him isn’t going to be able to wait around. Minnesota is a perfect fit for him, especially if they get Kirk Cousins back (something Kevin O’Connell spoke about on the NFL Combine broadcast this weekend) and can allow him to initially sit and develop behind the scenes.
12. Broncos: DE Jared Verse, Florida State
12. Broncos: DE Jared Verse, Florida State

The Broncos miss out on McCarthy, and coming out of the Combine it just doesn’t sound like teams are eager to take Michael Penix in the first round (even if they really should be, especially after he cleared his medical testing). Instead of reaching on him or Nix the Broncos just take the best player available, and add a pass rusher in Verse with tremendous upside.
13. Raiders: CB Terrion Arnold, Alabama
13. Raiders: CB Terrion Arnold, Alabama
AUBURN, ALABAMA – NOVEMBER 25: Rivaldo Fairweather #13 of the Auburn Tigers fails to pull in this reception as he is hit by Jihaad Campbell #30 and Terrion Arnold #3 of the Alabama Crimson Tide during the fourth quarter at Jordan-Hare Stadium on November 25, 2023 in Auburn, Alabama. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
The Raiders desperately need cornerback help. Here, they make Arnold the first player at the position off the board (this would be the longest stretch to start a draft without a cornerback since 2019, when Darnell Savage went 21st). No doubt, new head coach Antonio Pierce will appreciate the physicality Arnold brings to the cornerback position.
14. Chargers (from Saints): OT Taliese Fuaga, Oregon State

It’s finally time for the Chargers to pick! Rashawn Slater has been an All-Pro left tackle for LA, but the right tackle spot in front of Justin Herbert remains a bit of a mess. To fix it they take Fuaga, a true right tackle who was extremely impressive at both the Senior Bowl and Combine.
See Pick 10 for trade details
15. Colts: CB Nate Wiggins, Clemson

The Colts’ cornerback room right now is mostly just project players. Adding a veteran in free agency would help, but likely won’t be enough to solve the whole problem. Plus, with significant money tied up on the offensive side of the ball (especially if they bring back Michael Pittman), they need affordable options at premium positions on defense. That brings them to Wiggins, who ran the fastest 40 of any cornerback and second-fastest of any player this weekend, at 4.28 seconds.
16. Seahawks: EDGE Laiatu Latu, UCLA

First-year head coach Mike Macdonald comes from the defensive side of the ball, so an initial defensive upgrade makes sense. The best defensive player on the board at this point is Latu, who will add another dynamic to Seattle’s pass rush.
17. Jaguars: WR Brian Thomas Jr., LSU

As Trevor Lawrence enters the final concrete year of his rookie deal, the Jaguars need to keep building out his supporting cast. Calvin Ridley leaving in free agency would only hammer home that point, but even if he does return more can be done for Jacksonville’s offense. Thomas would add a major explosive element and give Lawrence a big-body deep ball threat from the ‘X’ position.
18. Bengals: OT Amarius Mims, Georgia

The Bengals learned last year what happens if they don’t keep Joe Burrow protected. With starting right tackle Jonah Williams expected to head to free agency, the Bengals replace him with Mims, who checked in at the Combine at 6-foot-7, 340 pounds before running a 5.07-second 40.
19. Rams: CB Quinyon Mitchell, Toledo

Through every step of the pre-draft process so far, Mitchell has looked like a shutdown corner in-progress. The Rams get a player with a very high upside here to boost their pass defense.
20. Steelers: Jackson Powers-Johnson, Oregon
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – OCTOBER 14: Jackson Powers-Johnson #58 of the Oregon Ducks prepares for a snap against the Washington Huskies at Husky Stadium on October 14, 2023 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images)
Right now, the Steelers don’t have a clear starter at center in 2024 after cutting 2023 starter Mason Cole. If you want to run the ball (which the Steelers generally do), having a good center is crucial. Powers-Johnson is one of the better center prospects to come through the draft in recent years, and has some guard potential as well. This is a natural fit.
21. Cowboys (from Dolphins): DT Byron Murphy, Texas

Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. (Ricardo B. Brazziell/American-Statesman/USA TODAY Network)
Cowboys get:
— 21st overall pick
Dolphins get:
— 24th overall pick
— 125th overall pick (4th round)
— 2025 fourth-round pickLast year it cost the Bills the 130th pick to move up from 25 to 23, so we’re working along those lines while adding an additional future pick to compensate the one extra spot. The Cowboys have traditionally like athletic, three-down defensive tackles, and getting a second such player to play next to Johnathan Hankins would really help create way to free up Micah Parsons. That’s the exact kind of player they’re getting in Murphy, who likely will be happy he doesn’t have to move far.
22. Eagles: DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa

The Eagles have major needs at both cornerback and safety. How about a player that projects to be able to play both spots at a high level? DeJean can become a true chess piece for new Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
23. Texans: WR AD Mitchell, Texas
AUSTIN, TEXAS – OCTOBER 28: Adonai Mitchell #5 of the Texas Longhorns catches a pass for a touchdown in the second quarter while defended by Raider Damuni #33 of the Brigham Young Cougars at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on October 28, 2023 in Austin, Texas.

The Texans got by last year without a true coverage-dictating wide receiver. Image what C.J. Stroud will be able to do with a 6-foot-2 receiver who ran a 4.34-second 40 and has a seemingly-unlimited catch radius? Building around Stroud should be the motto of the Texans’ offseason, and this move goes a long way in doing so.
24. Dolphins (from Cowboys): OT JC Latham, Alabama

This is a bit of a fall for Latham, but with so much tackle talent on the board somebody is going later than expected. He ends up with a Miami team that has three of last year’s starting offensive linemen heading to free agency, plus a left tackle in Terron Armstead who is contemplating retirement. Best offensive lineman on the board feels like a no-brainer.
25. Patriots (from Packers): OT Troy Fautanu, Washington
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – SEPTEMBER 23: Troy Fautanu #55 of the Washington Huskies in action against the California Golden Bears at Husky Stadium on September 23, 2023 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images)
Patriots get:
— 25th overall pick
— 168th overall pick (5th round)Packers get
— 34th overall pick (2nd round)
— 68th overall pick (3rd round)During Eliot Wolf’s time with the Packers, they tended to target more athletic offensive linemen. Those are also the kinds of players that fit best in Alex Van Pelt’s scheme. Enter Fautanu, who tested very well at the Combine at 6-foot-4, 317 pounds. A two-year starter, Fautanu should come in ready to hit the ground rolling and be a real answer at one of the tackle spots (most likely left) in New England. Drafting Fautanu and re-signing Mike Onwenu would certainly qualify as the Patriots taking care of the position this offseason.
This trade is based on the one the Patriots made to move back in 2020 to get Kyle Dugger. With so many wide receivers showing out at the Combine, in this case the Patriots are comfortable giving up a top-100 pick, knowing there will be talent at the position early on Day 3. They could also use the fifth they’re getting back to pair with another pick to move back up at some point.
26. Buccaneers: OLB Chop Robinson, Penn State

The Buccaneers’ pass rush has fallen off in recent years, and last year the team only had two players with more than five sacks on the season. Robinson should provide an instant boost in that regard.
27. Chiefs (from Cardinals): WR Xavier Worthy, Texas
AUSTIN, TEXAS – SEPTEMBER 16: Xavier Worthy #1 of the Texas Longhorns scores a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Wyoming Cowboys at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on September 16, 2023 in Austin, Texas. (Photo by Tim Warner/Getty Images)
Chiefs get:
— 27th overall pick
Cardinals get
— 32nd overall pick
— 133rd overall pick (4th round)
— 2025 fourth-round pickYeah, this is a scary combination. Worthy isn’t your typical 40-time star who is more of a track runner than a football player. He’s a legitimate route-runner who is incredibly dangerous after the catch, with a similar play style to Zay Flowers. He’s exactly what the Chiefs offense was missing last year. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Kansas City, always aggressive in the draft, move up and jump the receiver-needy Bills to get him. This trade is based on a 2022 deal between the Jaguars and Buccaneers.
28. Bills: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State

The Bills’ pursuit of a second legitimate wide receiver to catch passes from Josh Allen continues, and time is ticking as Stefon Diggs enters his age 31 season. Coleman projects, at his ceiling, to be the kind of player the Bills hoped pending free agent Gabe Davis would become – a big-body, big-play downfield threat.
29. Lions: CB Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama

(Brianna Paciorka/News Sentinel/USA TODAY Network)
The Lions had one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL last year, allowing 6.7 passing yards per attempt. That ranked 29th in the NFL. They need somebody on the back end to cover receivers while Aidan Hutchinson does his thing. Lucky for them, they’re able to grab McKinstry after a run on wide receivers and tackles in the mid-20s causes him to slide a bit.
30. Ravens: WR Ladd McConkey, Georgia
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA – OCTOBER 28: Ladd McConkey #84 of the Georgia Bulldogs scores a touchdown during the first half of a game against the Florida Gators at EverBank Stadium on October 28, 2023 in Jacksonville, Florida. (Photo by James Gilbert/Getty Images)
Can the Ravens go 2-for-2 hitting on shifty YAC receivers after nailing the Zay Flowers pick last year? Unless they want to give Nelson Agholor a bigger role, receiver is a need for Baltimore once again. McConkey’s quickness would make him a tremendous fit in their offense. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him slip into the first round after a very impressive Combine.
31. 49ers: OT Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma

The Niners have a current need at right tackle and a future need at left tackle with Trent Williams entering his age-36 season. Guyton, who projects to be able to play both spots, would be the perfect answer for San Francisco if he falls this year. He could play right tackle in the short term, then move to left when Williams retires. At 6-foot-8, 322 pounds, he plays with a similar overpowering style to his fellow Sooner.
32. Cardinals (from Chiefs): QB Michael Penix, Washington
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – NOVEMBER 11: Michael Penix Jr. #9 of the Washington Huskies passes against the Utah Utes during the second quarter at Husky Stadium on November 11, 2023 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images)
While the Cardinals are tied to Kyler Murray for this season due to his extreme cap number, getting out from under his deal becomes much easier in 2025. Plus, Murray’s injury history is significant – he hasn’t played a full season since 2020. So, with their second first-round pick, the Cardinals get creative. Worst-case scenario, they have a high-level backup for their big-money starter. If Penix shows enough, the Cardinals could potentially move on from Murray while having a starting QB on a rookie deal.
