New England Patriots de facto general manager Eliot Wolf is reportedly “pushing hard” for Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy, per Sportskeeda’s Tony Pauline.
The Patriots currently own the No. 3 overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft, and they could throw a major curveball on the board if they used that spot to take McCarthy over Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels.
Caleb Williams going to the Chicago Bears is probably a given, but the Patriots were expected to take whoever is left between Maye and Daniels, after the Washington Commanders are on the clock at No.
