hey what's up everyone morey croson here and we have another new breakdown for you today it's
going to be on jj mccarthy currently the second best pro style rated quarterback in the 2021 class
i think overall an excellent prospect and somebody i'm super excited to be able to break down i think
he has some really really clean mechanics overall as always before we hop into the video if you like
the content go ahead and like the video that helps out a lot subscribe to the channel if you haven't
already and if you have any recommendations for us you can go ahead and leave those in the comments
below we'll go and get started right now all right so jj mccarthy he's a really good size quarterback
six to 195 pounds he just transferred to img and i'm excited to see him once he gets into
a little bit more of uh the national spotlight here and it's always good to be able to you know
do these breakdowns on on some of the the young up and coming quarterbacks and you know the woman
i could definitely think that he's one of those types of guys one of the things that stands out to
him to me is just how smooth of a load he has how how snappy of a load he has he's been doing
a great job obviously working on on that he goes right back it's that that nice 90 90 position you
can see that there and then from there is so clean of being able to get that elbow up and through
um and then does a great job of creating that rotation within the spine keeps that front arm
very close to the body overall excellent movement within the the trunk and upper body you can tell
he has a lot of great shoulder range of motion as well some some things that you could definitely
build off of and you know it helps that once you can can build the size right so if you are a guy
that is closer to you know the um six foot six foot two area you're gonna be able to have a lot
more um success if you know in using your your whole body um compared to somebody that might be
you know five nine five ten you wanna be you know the bigger you are the the longer your levers are
and it's all about being able to maximize those levers and i think jj does a great job being able
to make that happen so here we can see loading into that back leg very effectively and that's
another thing that i notice is you know there's two main parts of loading when it comes to being
able to throw the ball very very effectively and have a strong arm one of it's going to be the load
in your upper body and the other one's going to be in the load in your lower body so he loads into
that back leg and he pushes gets that rotation there um and i see this a lot with guys where
right after they get that rotation within that back leg get the hips to start rotating around
very very soon after that is when the ball comes out of the out of their hands right and so you
can see that he's another example where he gets that foot down he begins to rotate and then from
there uses that rotation within the hips the push off within the back leg and that initial spine
rotation to really fling that elbow forward and through you can see this is just another
really good angle of being able to see how he's generating his force right so see how when he gets
to that last step how well he's able to load into that back leg this is a really important thing
that i think a lot of people miss out on is when you get to that back step you really want to allow
yourself to absorb into it allow your weight to be able to transfer into that back leg and then from
there push off and and you can see how well he gets that hip extension right so when you push off
it's not like a um just going through the motions type of of a movement you really want to be able
to push off and really get a lot of extension out of the hip a lot of force out of the ground
in order to get your momentum going and you know again the bigger types of guys the stronger guys
bigger guys are able to do that a little bit more effectively so if you're you know five eight again
five eight to five ten somewhere in there you really have to do a great job being able to push
off the ground in order to generate the force like tyler murray that is amazing at how much
ground force he's able to generate and you know that's why he's able to throw the ball that that
the way that he is um is because of how well he could push off the back leg and then also how
stable he is in the front you can see you know jj is very very strong within his lower body um and
very stable within that front leg even though that knee is extending you don't see very much movement
within that foot at all as he's coming through and he's very very efficient with that that load
right and then he's almost snapping with the load too he snaps it back and then drives it
right back forward and through in a very very effective and efficient way overall
again great job being able to push off that back leg great job being able to be nice and stable
within the front leg and there is going to be extension within that front leg right so the fact
that he goes through you know a good amount of extension there is is something that we're
all gonna gonna go through right so he ends up being very kind of downwards in his um you know
bends and knees is a little bit low and then as he goes through the throw you can see how he
raises himself up during the throw which is an important part especially the deeper the throw
um you're really going to want to be able to raise yourself up and and that's a big part of
being able to maximize your overall technique is how well you're able to kind of raise up as you're
going through so i wanted to get this angle just because i was looking for a angle where we can
get the behind just to see where that that ball goes because i think it's very important after you
load to be able to understand what you want to do with that ball and i always talk about really
driving that elbow through and making sure that ball doesn't get too far back behind the head
and i think he does a great job of being able to maximize you know that that loading phase where he
doesn't get that ball too far stuck behind him so notice how fast he's able to get that elbow
back and then from there drive that elbow right up and through and there is a timing where it's
like as soon as you you get to that position and you start raising up the ball you do want to start
driving that elbow through sooner and sooner to be able to maximize your release time right that
helps with your release time and it also makes it so you don't end up throwing the ball too far out
here so when you when you go and you load and you let the ball get too far back behind you back over
here right then that makes it so that as you come back forward and through the ball comes out to
the side more but you can see him he does a good job of drawing that elbow so the ball doesn't end
up going off to the side and is able to be a lot more clean so this one's a cool one just because
it really shows off his arm strength right because being able to roll out to the left here and then
be able to then turn the body get the body around and be able to throw the ball really on a line as
you're going across the body it's a great way to almost yourself just test how much arm strength
um you have and how well you're able to put the ball in the line by being able to kind of
load or roll out to the side and then be able to throw a 15 20 yard throw across your body i don't
necessarily always recommend this type of throw because it's a pretty dangerous throw overall um
but it is a good way to be able to test what type of arm strength you have rolling out to the
left and being able to throw the ball on a line while the receiver's coming across 15 20 yards
will really give you a lot of information about you know what your overall arm strength is and
maybe if you need to correct your elbow position your wrist flick things like that will be super
beneficial um and being able to do almost just like a self-assessment there in in your throat
i mean that you could tell that he definitely put as much on there as he typically does
um but he also still put a lot more on it than a lot of people do so you know excellent overall
arm strength a top prospect in this 2021 class can't wait to see him when he goes to michigan
and continuing to follow him as he goes into uh to college and hopefully playing on sundays one
day so as always guys thanks for watching these videos and if you like the information go ahead
