Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Carson Beck, Arizona Cardinals third-round QB pick, reports his right arm is "the strongest it's ever been" nearly 18 months after UCL surgery in December 2024. Beck tore his UCL "off the bone" during the 2024 SEC Championship game and avoided full Tommy John surgery. After transferring from Georgia to Miami, he led the Hurricanes to the CFP National Championship game in 2025, winning three playoff contests. Beck credits his offseason focus on mechanics and throwing motion fluidity for his improved arm strength and recent performance.
