How Sean Payton and the Broncos are turning up the heat to evaluate QB prospects

J.J. McCarthy didn’t have much time to revel in the afterglow of his performance at the University of Michigan’s pro day earlier this month, the one his college coach and now boss Jim Harbaugh called “the best I’ve ever seen a quarterback do at a pro day.” That’s because Sean Payton had given McCarthy a significant pile of homework — and it was due the next day. “We sent him a bunch of information,” Payton said at the ’s league meetings in Orlando, Fla.

I felt like, in ways, he was probably trying to see how I reacted to those bad plays and take accountability and stuff like that. I’m always going to do that. I’m going to be honest about everything.” Payton, who spent 16 seasons as a head coach in New Orleans and is entering his second season in that role with the Broncos, has plenty of experience with the quarterback evaluation process, but this year could be different from all the others.
