Peyton Manning ‘Impressed’ by Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy, But Denver Lacks Supporting Cast

Quarterback J.J. McCarthy is entering the 2024 NFL Draft, and while there are some concerns about his consistency, former Broncos great Peyton Manning is reportedly impressed with the young signal-caller. Manning said that he texted McCarthy after the national championship game, but McCarthy initially thought it was a prank and didn’t call back. However, McCarthy eventually called back and asked Manning some questions, which impressed the Hall of Famer. Despite Manning’s praise, there are still some concerns about McCarthy’s fit in Denver, as the Broncos lack the elite players that surround a top quarterback. McCarthy has shown some promise in his career at Michigan, but he will need to develop and have a solid supporting cast to succeed in the NFL. The Broncos could take a bet on McCarthy if he falls to them at No. 12, but they would be wise to avoid trading future assets for him if another QB-starved team makes a move for him early.
