Former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber is not buying the J.J. McCarthy hype.

During an appearance on WFAN Sports radio, Barber spoke about how he doesn't believe McCarthy is a first-round caliber quarterback and worries about him translating to the pro level.

Barber added that McCarthy is "being inflated" due to former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh's praise.

"Stop with the J.J. McCarthy thing," Barber said. "His film doesn't say he's a first-round quarterback. His film doesn't say 'I need to get rid of all my assets and draft this guy' because a lot of what he does doesn't translate.
