JJ McCarthy singles out former Michigan teammate given cold shoulder

The Mirror Us - Dec 18th, 2024

J.J. McCarthy, former Michigan quarterback now with the Minnesota Vikings, expressed disappointment over his former teammate Josaiah Stewart being left off the All-America Team honors. Stewart had an impressive season despite Michigan's struggles, with 33 tackles, 8.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. McCarthy also praised other Michigan players like Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant, and Will Johnson for their performances. Meanwhile, McCarthy, who was drafted 10th overall by the Vikings, suffered a torn meniscus in his preseason debut, sidelining him for the season. He is expected to return healthy for the 2025 NFL season. The Michigan Wolverines finished their season 7-5, missing the expanded College Football Playoff, and are set to face Alabama in the Reliaquest Bowl.
