NFL Notes: J.J. McCarthy, Jayden Daniels, Patrick Peterson

J.J. McCarthy

Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy had some quotes after Michiganโ€™s Pro Day. McCarthy talked about how he felt he addressed potential flaws in his workout while noting the intangibles as a large contributor to success.

โ€œI just wanted to showcase the questions they had about out-breakers to the left and putting some air on the deep posts, stuff like that,โ€ McCarthy said, via Austin Meek of The Athletic. โ€œI felt like I did that today. Iโ€™m pretty confident with the showing I put out there.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s about potential, traits, character โ€” all that little stuff. You could throw for 5,000 yards in a year, but if you have awful character and your teammates donโ€™t like you, whatโ€™s that going to do for you? I pride myself on the intangibles and being able to be a leader.โ€

Jayden Daniels

LSU QB Jayden Daniels went viral on social media due to a picture of his elbow being distorted during one of his throws. 

โ€œMy elbow is perfectly fineโ€ฆ stop the cap!โ€ Daniels said, via his social media.

Patrick Peterson

Pittsburgh cut veteran CB Patrick Peterson following the season and he remains a free agent through the first portion of free agency. Despite the lack of a deal to this point, Peterson still believes he can play the cornerback position at a high level.

โ€œMe and my agent have had conversations with a couple teams,โ€ Peterson said on the NFL on Fox podcast. โ€œNothing really serious thus far, but there has been conversations. . . . Weโ€™ll see what happens in the next couple months.โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t want to start at safety because thatโ€™s a different animal back there. Thatโ€™s a different view back there. If that is the case, I would need to be warned going into the season to get my body, my mental prepared. Itโ€™s different being at the safety from the cornerback position, having those open-field tackles.โ€
