“[McCarthy] is a very, very hungry and driven player, but also a leader,” Jones says. “He’s different. In terms of the smarts, I put him in that category with Aaron Rodgers, in terms of how smart he is and really having an understanding for the game.”
It’s a lot of pressure on McCarthy, but his ring from Michigan’s 2024 title team suggests he might be able to handle it.
“He’s been amazing,” Jones says. “I’m honestly confident in what we have here. I feel like we have everything we need, all the pieces we need here. I feel like J.J. is going to surprise a lot of people.”
Various other nuggets, including some quotes from Will Fries. The D might be legit as well. Also read from another source that Jurgens held his own very well yesterday with a vet day off for Ryan Kelly. Showed power in the run game. Held decently against the bigger inside DTs, Jurgens is progressing nicely. KAM and staff seemed particularly stoked to draft Jurgens on the inside video coverage of the Draft, maybe we are seeing why now.
