McCarty was a highly sought-after quarterback in a draft that was filled with star quarterbacks coming into the NFL.
He spent three years with the Wolverines, starting the final two, and throwing for 2,991 yards and 22 touchdowns last season.
He led the Wolverines to their first national championship in decades last season and also to three straight College Football Playoff appearances and three straight wins over rival Ohio State.
