Carson Beck Surprised to Start Hall of Fame Game

Carson Beck, the Cardinals rookie quarterback, was shocked to be named starter for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game and says he's more excited than nervous.

Carson Beck, 24, was only notified this week that he would start the Hall of Fame Game. He admitted he had no expectations, noting veteran QBs rarely play in the event and that the schedule had been chaotic. Coach Mike LaFleur has not publicly addressed playing time, but with Brissett and Minshew likely on the sidelines, Beck expects to see significant action.

Beck says he’s never been nervous for a game since age 8 and is more excited than anxious about facing the Panthers on Thursday. His six‑season college career and recent national championship appearance with Miami have helped him stay calm and ready for the preseason showcase. noplasticplease.life
