Mel Kiper gives blunt assessment of Carson Beck's NFL prospects

ESPN NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper evaluated what’s to come for Carson Beck in the pros ahead of Monday’s national championship. The Miami QB and the Hurricanes take on No. 1 and 15-0 Indiana, at home no less, for the crown.

Beck, once thought of a potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, saw his stock plummet, suffered an injury and transferred out of Georgia for his final season. But Beck has resurrected his pro prospects this fall and winter.

As far as where he fits in the picture in April, Kiper has him at No. 4 or 5 among his draft eligible quarterbacks. Borderline starter? Backup in the pros? Perhaps the latter.

“Well he could be in that fourth, fifth quarterback spot,” Kiper said on Get Up . “You have obviously Mendoza, Dante Moore … he’s at two, Ty Simpson , Trinidad Chambliss , does he get an extra year? And then you have Carson Beck with Garrett Nussmeier , Drew Allar in that mix as a late day two, early day three type. This is a guy who has to cut down on those interceptions, 23 interceptions over the last two years. But this past season, this year, the best year overall. We look back at Georgia, what he was this season, best year overall for Carson Beck. He’s a guy I think could be a career backup in the NFL. I’d say late day two, early day three for him.”

This season (15 games), Beck has 3,581 yards, 29 touchdowns, 11 interceptions and a 73.3% completion percentage. Over the course of his career, Beck has 11,493 yards, 87 touchdowns, 31 interceptions and a 69.7% completion percentage.
