Mock drafts for the Pittsburgh Steelers have finally hit the trifecta.
With the team’s quarterback situation still up in the air heading into the 2024 offseason, many names have been thrown around to fix it.
That includes the names in the upcoming draft.
There are six QBs who could be taken in the first round of the draft. The top three, Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels, are all out of reach for the Steelers.
Other mock drafts have predicted that they’ll draft two of the others in Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr.
Now a mock draft has finally linked them to the other QB.
NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry predicted that the Steelers would use the draft’s 20th pick to select J.J. McCarthy in his January 25 mock draft.
McCarthy is a QB from Michigan who just capped off his career in the best way possible. He beat Penix Jr. to win the national title.
McCarthy’s Resumé
When it comes to winning football games, McCarthy’s resumé is very impressive.
In two years as the starting quarterback for the Michigan Wolverines, McCarthy only lost one game.
hat loss came in the 2022 Fiesta Bowl against TCU after McCarthy and Michigan had won their first 13 games, including wins over Penn State and Ohio State.
In 2023, McCarthy led Michigan to a perfect season, beating Alabama and Washington in the College Football Playoff to win their first national title since 1997.
