Former Alabama star QB AJ McCarron is ready to make NFL return

The former Alabama star QB is ‘just waiting for a call’ to return to the NFL.

[autotag]AJ McCarron[/autotag] has made a name for himself in the NFL as one of the most reliable backups in the league. Unfortunately for McCarron, an ACL injury during the 2021 preseason has left him without a team.

McCarron joined Good Morning Football on Monday and expressed that he has recovered from his injury and is ready to join an NFL team and help the franchise.

McCarron had the following to say while on the NFL Network:

“I feel great. I was blessed to have a great team around me with Dr. (Lyle) Cane, our doctor at Alabama, and Kevin Wilk, who I did a bunch of my rehab with. I got cleared at four-and-a-half months out from surgery, so I’ve just been working on the strength and getting everything back normal, and I really feel great right now.”

“You never know what your future holds, what it is in this game, so I’m just ready, waiting for a call. But right now, I’m enjoying my time off and being able to be a dad and being around my three boys for the first time in a while.”

McCarron helped lead Alabama to two national championships as the starting quarterback in Tuscaloosa during the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor McCarron’s journey back to the NFL.
