A surprising name has moved up the favorites list to be selected at No. 2 overall at this year\u2019s\u00a0NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

The first round of the highly anticipated event is set for this Thursday. Former USC star Caleb Williams is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick by the Chicago Bears, who have moved on from\u00a0Justin Fields\u00a0to accommodate him.<\/p>\n

JJ McCarthy, who helped the\u00a0Michigan Wolverines\u00a0win the national championship at the beginning of the year, has seen his odds of getting picked second overall move significantly as of Sunday.<\/p>\n

The QB went from 20\/1 to 17\/1 before going all the way down to 11\/1 on FanDuel Sportsbook.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Washington Commanders hold the No. 2 pick this year and are tipped to select Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels. While there is talk that Daniels does not want to play in Washington, it would still be a surprise if the NFC outfit went with McCarthy, especially given that he wasn\u2019t even mentioned as a potential No. 2 selection before the odds shifted on Sunday.<\/p>\n

JJ McCarthy\u2019s Odds Swing Is Typical Of NFL Draft Week<\/h2>\n

Of course, this is not unusual. Odds tend to move drastically heading into\u00a0NFL\u00a0Draft week every year, but there is some merit to McCarthy\u2019s climb.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old led the Wolverines to an unblemished 15-0 season, culminating in their first championship win since 1997. It\u2019s worth noting that he wasn\u2019t the focal point of Jim Harbaugh\u2019s offense, as the head coach \u2013 who has since returned to the NFL \u2013 preferred the ground game. However, JJ McCarthy proved reliable as a leader and registered impressive numbers, making 72.4 percent of his passing attempts, throwing for 2991 yards and 22 touchdowns.<\/p>\n

He was also effective as a rusher, recording 632 yards and 10 scores from the ground during his three years with the team.<\/p>\n

McCarthy\u2019s attitude towards football has made him a favorite among NFL scouts, with one of them claiming he can be just as good as Joe Burrow in a pass-first offense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
