Former Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy just had an incredible season in Ann Arbor. He led the Wolverines to an undefeated national championship and went on to record 2,991 passing yards and 22 TD passes, his best in college.

McCarthy is not the only one transitioning into the NFL this year.

It definitely would have been an extraordinary reunion if McCarthy is drafted by the Chargers.
