McCarthy spent part of his bye week time off at his alma mater, Baker University in Kansas, getting inducted into the school's hall of fame.
McCarthy played tight end for two years at Baker, which played in the NAIA Division II national championship his senior year in 1986. This year's hall inductees were honored a couple of weeks ago, but a special ceremony honoring McCarthy was scheduled when he could return during the bye week, and his daughter and parents were able to be there with him.
"It was a nice event, and I was totally overwhelmed," said McCarthy, who admitted getting a little emotional about the recognition. "It was something you'll never forget.
"I saw a lot of guys I hadn't seen in 20 years. We really had two very good football teams the two years I was there. It was awesome. It really was. I can't say enough about the day."
