Recently, McCarthy was asked to build his ultimate quarterback by taking different attributes from all the signal-callers he has watched.

He included another Michigan legend, $300 million worth (via Celebrity Net Worth) Tom Brady for his football IQ. Other than that, some pretty big names went into creating the national champion’s ultimate QB.

For arm strength, McCarthy went with three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes. He chose Josh Allen for size and Lamar Jackson for speed. He wants the strength of Green Bay Packers legend Brett Favre and the toughness of Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow. And as a bonus, he added his own smile to the mix.

Former Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh considered McCarthy the best quarterback in Michigan history. While many fans questioned it, Brady came to his defense, affirming the choice, even before the national championship win.
