The last few weeks haven't been easy for Carson Beck. In addition to his loss in the National Championship game against Indiana, he was booed at the Scouting Combine; however, the former Miami star isn't letting these setbacks discourage him, as demonstrated by his most recent statements.
Beck's final year in college football was nothing short of stellar. Besides leading the Hurricanes to the national championship game, his stats were extraordinary.
In 16 games during the 2025-2026 season, Beck compiled:
- 338 completions on 467 attempts
- 72.4% completion rate
- 3,813 yards
- 30 touchdown passes
- 12 interceptions
- 157 passer rating
His stat line and on-field leadership made him one of the top prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft. But it hasn't all been smooth sailing for Beck.
Carson Beck dismisses boos at the Combine
The former Hurricanes quarterback had a rough time at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine. Held in Indianapolis, Indiana, Beck faced a hostile crowd from the start.
However, the young quarterback didn't let it intimidate him. "That was an interesting experience," Beck said when asked about the boos he received at Lucas Oil Stadium.
I don't know if anybody else has ever gotten booed at the combine before, but yeah, it's kind of cool. I laughed at it, and I kept throwing. [It was] a cool experience, nonetheless.
Fans and media believe that much of the booing Beck received stemmed from the moment he refused to shake Fernando Mendoza's hand after their loss at the Nationals.
Regardless of the reasons, it hasn't affected Beck, who is ready for whatever the draft holds.
What awaits Carson Beck in the 2026 NFL Draft?
According to the most recent ESPN report, the former Hurricane is the third-best quarterback in this draft, behind Mendoza and Ty Simpson of the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Most mock drafts so far predict the New York Jets will select Beck, but not in the first round; they expect him to be picked in the second or even the third round.
Others believe he could slide even further, perhaps to the fourth or fifth round. In that case, he could end up as a backup in Cleveland, Indianapolis, Dallas, or Detroit.
