And now he's engaged.
McCarthy and his new fiancée, Katya Kuropas, announced the news in a joint Instagram post late Friday night.
"Me, You & Marley Forever & Ever," the caption said.
The couple shared nine photos of each other, some with their pup Marley on a beach.
The comments were priceless, hyping up the quarterback.
"Bro got 2 rings in 2 weeks," one user wrote.
"This man JJ is on a winning streak humanity hasn’t seen before," said another.
Added another, "he really said this is my year."

McCarthy penned a message to the maize and blue faithful when he declared for the draft and added a section for the future Mrs. McCarthy.
"You are my soulmate, best friend, and my rock," he said. "I am so blessed to be your partner now and forever. I am so excited to continue our journey together."
His Michigan teammate, Blake Corum, recently had high praise for him.
"J.J. is just a great quarterback," Corum told Fox News Digital. "Wants to learn, wants to get better, will not stop until he does. Whatever round he gets drafted, I think he’s a first-rounder for sure, great quarterback, great leader.
"I think he’ll have a super-long career. Maybe a Tom Brady, we’ll see."
