NFL Scout Reportedly Thinks Carson Beck Is 'Really, Really High-Level Backup' in Pros

NFL Scout’s Evaluation of Carson Beck

The Miami Hurricanes' season has deteriorated, yet a certain NFL scout remains optimistic about quarterback Carson Beck's prospects. NFL draft analyst Todd McShay shared at the nine-minute mark,

“One scout I talked to was like, 'I'm not ready to give up on Carson Beck yet despite all the stuff. I don't think he's a definite starter, but I think he's a really, really high-level backup.'”

Background and Expectations

Beck was Georgia's starting quarterback in 2023 and 2024 before transferring to Miami for the 2024 season. Once considered a potential No. 1 overall pick, his status has since declined. The latest mock draft from B/R's NFL Scouting Department did not project him as a first-round pick.

Performance and Concerns

This season, Beck has delivered glimpses of his skill, completing 72.5% of his passes for 1,947 yards with 14 touchdowns and 9 interceptions over eight games. Turnovers remain an issue, also evidenced by his 12 interceptions last season at Georgia.

Team Situation

Miami has struggled lately, losing two of its last three games, and currently ranks No. 18 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings after early-season national title hopes.

Author’s Summary

Despite setbacks, Carson Beck is viewed by some scouts as a valuable high-level backup with potential, though his turnover issues limit his draft stock.
