Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, working as a draft analyst for the Pat McAfee Show Draft Spectacular on ESPN Thursday night, very much liked the Minnesota Vikings' decision to select Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the No. 10 overall pick.
"There's a lot to like about McCarthy," he said. "This kid's tough, he's a great leader, he's an alpha guy. Players love him, his teammates love him, and he makes a lot of good decisions. He really helps their team. He'll work well with the Vikings, and head coach Kevin O'Connell will do a great job with him, and he's got some good players to work with, especially Justin Jefferson.
