The New York Giants’ franchise quarterback, Daniel Jones, is a subject of some controversy going into the 2024 season. One standout college quarterback is being mentioned as a potential Jones replacement in 2025 as the college football season gets underway.
Carson Beck Possess the “Prototypical Build and Arm” to Comply
A piece about collegiate football players most likely to be taken early in the 2025 draft was released on September 2 by Kyle Crabbs, NFL Draft Lead for The 33rd Team.
He stated, “HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ highlighted the New York Giants’ experience this offseason, and the team’s interest in addressing their quarterback situation was not necessarily subtle.” “By opting not to rework quarterback Daniel Jones’ contract this offseason, the Giants are opening up a viable exit window that could begin in 2025.”
“The bigger question will be which members of the football operations are still in-house to make this selection,” he continued, assuming that New York ends up with the first overall choice. Beck possesses the standard build and arm that most coaches will mention as a good place to start.
However, Beck is highly praised for his mastery of the game, which is what should have the biggest impact on quarterback-hungry clubs like the Giants.
Beck completed his Georgia career with 3,738 yards and 22 touchdowns through the air. On August 31, he also passed for 278 yards and two touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ dominating 34-3 victory over Clemson.
Shedeur Sanders Is An Additional Choice
Shedeur Sanders of Colorado is the other stellar quarterback who Luke Easterling of Athlon Sports selected to come to New York in a different story about the best players heading into the 2024 college football season.
Easterling said in the August 29 story, “The Giants decided to punt on the rest of the group and ride with Daniel Jones for at least one more year after missing out on the three blue-chip QB prospects in the 2024 class.” “Sanders’ 2023 film was a roller coaster, but he has the physical talent and intangibles to make a big jump this season, which could propel him into the top-five conversation if he can improve his consistency and decision-making.”
“Beck has shown flashes of potential that could make him the first one off the board, and worthy of a top-five pick,” according to Easterling, who projects Beck will sign with the Tennessee Titans.
This season, Beck and Sanders are both well-known figures in collegiate football. On Wednesday, September 4, NFL selection expert Mel Kiper Jr. claimed on ESPN’s “Get Up” that Sanders and Beck are presently tied for his top quarterback prospect ranking for the 2025 selection.
“Carson Beck was [ranked] 234, on the big board coming out of high school when they ranked them,” Kiper added, expressing his admiration for Beck’s work ethic. Carson Beck was ranked behind 22 quarterbacks. Now, see where he is. He matured. He observed. He took a seat. Even though he is only 21 years old, he learned.
In November, Beck turns 22.
