Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh has been effusive in his praise of Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy ahead of Thursday's NFL draft, and it sounds like there's a chance he could have a hand in where the signal-caller ends up being selected.
The Chargers hold the No. 5 pick in the 2024 draft, and many are considering that to be a prime spot to potentially trade up for a quarterback. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported that after speaking to someone who knows Harbaugh "very well," he believes the former Wolverines head coach could determine McCarthy's future.
