J.J. McCarthyQB
Despite a disappointing 2025 season where McCarthy struggled and was benched for Kyler Murray, Adam Schefter is not giving up on him and believes there is a comeback story ahead.

Schefter acknowledges McCarthy wasn't ready and struggled, but notes his issues were multifactorial (injury history, offensive line issues, self-inflicted mistakes) rather than pure talent decline, and remains confident in his potential for another opportunity.
