Michigan quarterback Cade McCarthy has been a standout performer for the Wolverines this season, leading the team to a Big Ten title and a berth in the Rose Bowl. But despite his impressive play, McCarthy is focused on helping his team win the Rose Bowl and make a run at a national championship, not his NFL prospects.
McCarthy has been a leader for the Wolverines all season long, throwing for 2,921 yards and 24 touchdowns while completing 63.7 percent of his passes. He also ran for 437 yards and four touchdowns, showing off his dual-threat ability. His play has earned him Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honors and has put him in the conversation for the Heisman Trophy.
But despite his impressive play, McCarthy is focused on helping the Wolverines win the Rose Bowl and make a run at a national championship. He has said that he is not thinking about the NFL at all and is instead focused on helping his team reach its goals.
McCarthy’s focus on the team’s success is admirable and it has been a major factor in the Wolverines’ success this season. His leadership and playmaking ability have been instrumental in leading Michigan to a 10-2 record and a Big Ten title.
The Wolverines will face Oregon in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day and McCarthy will be looking to lead his team to victory. If he can do that, it would be a huge accomplishment for the Wolverines and could put them in position to make a run at a national championship.
Regardless of what happens in the Rose Bowl, McCarthy’s focus on helping the team reach its goals is commendable. His play this season has been outstanding and his leadership has been invaluable. He may not be thinking about his NFL prospects right now, but if he continues to play at this level, he could have a bright future in the NFL.
