He\u2019s a marginal athlete, but I think he\u2019s got the ability to navigate the pocket, does a good job of mitigating bad plays, and his sack avoidance is good \u2014 the sacks he takes are minimized. He just plays within himself. He was asked to do more at Georgia, but he\u2019s capable of all that stuff, as far as controlling what\u2019s out there.<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"aspect-ratio:1.49926794;display:block\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-modal-image=\"38205064\" width=\"885\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/miami-quarterback-carson-beck-scores-118539683.jpg\" alt=\"Miami quarterback Carson Beck scores a touchdown during the Fiesta Bowl.\" class=\"wp-image-38205064\"  \/>Miami quarterback Carson Beck scores a touchdown during the Fiesta Bowl.
