Harbaugh praises JJ McCarthy’s toughness

A benching and a trade aren't usually the highlights of a quarterback's story. John Harbaugh makes them central to his praise of J.J. McCarthy, arguing that the setbacks matter as much as the championship and the draft-day promise.

Speaking at the Giants' podium, Harbaugh traces McCarthy's path from a national title to being a high draft pick for Minnesota, then through the disappointments that followed. His point isn't that those disappointments disappear. It's that a player can become stronger by working through them.

"But you heal stronger, and you fight, and you become better because of it," Harbaugh says. He broadens the thought beyond his quarterback, explaining why he values football as a metaphor for life, particularly for children watching.

The Short drew roughly 18,000 views in six hours, already well above New York Post Sports' usual full-day Shorts audience. In the comments, viewers connect McCarthy's journey with his Michigan days, while a couple bring the conversation back to a more immediate Giants concern: finding a kicker.

Harbaugh finishes with a small request for assistance. "Failure is not final. Isn't that a saying somewhere? Help me out." The coach delivering the life lesson briefly needs the press room to supply the reference.
