Carson Beck's QB career in college wasn't perfect. He says that can help in adjustment to NFL
The third-round pick brings 43 college starts and a comeback from elbow surgery as Arizona searches for a long-term answer at quarterback.
- On Thursday, quarterback Carson Beck was introduced at the Arizona Cardinals' practice facility after being selected in the third round of last month's draft. Head coach Mike LaFleur values Beck's experience from a six-year college career.
- Beck is roughly 18 months removed from major elbow surgery after an injury in December 2024. He made 43 starts across Georgia and Miami, leading the Hurricanes to a College Football Playoff runner-up finish last season.
- Following the Kyler Murray era, the Cardinals seek a fresh start after finishing 3-14 last season and firing coach Jonathan Gannon. Murray, who recorded a 38-48-1 record over seven seasons, now plays for the Minnesota Vikings.
- Veteran Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew remain on the roster to provide depth. The duo holds a combined 37-75 record as starting quarterbacks, with Brissett starting the final 12 games of last season with a 1-11 record.
- "My arm is as strong as it's ever been," Beck said, emphasizing his focus on mechanics. He is working to ensure his throwing technique is 100% exactly where he wants it as he prepares for his professional debut.
