J.J. McCarthy would have to throw a few hundred passes Friday just to close one gap between him and the other top quarterbacks in the NFL draft.

McCarthy attempted just 713 passes during his college career — compared to Jayden Daniels’ 1,438, Caleb Williams’ 1,099 and Drake Maye’s 952 — as a by-product of the defending national champion Wolverines building big leads and playing through their defense.
“You just want to see him throw more,” said draft analyst Matt Miller, who will be on site as part of ESPN’s coverage.
