Carson Beck Faces Criticism for NFL Draft Decision

Carson Beck, Georgia Bulldogs' quarterback, has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft following a season-ending elbow injury sustained in the SEC Championship game against Texas. Despite a challenging season marked by a high number of interceptions and the injury, Beck decided to turn pro rather than utilize his remaining college eligibility. His decision has sparked criticism from NFL Draft analysts like Todd McShay, who labeled it as 'foolish' and noted that league scouts do not see him as a first-round pick. Beck, who threw 28 touchdowns this season, announced his decision via Instagram, thanking his team and coaches. While some analysts argue Beck should have stayed an additional year to improve his draft stock, others believe he's ready for the professional level. Beck's announcement dispels previous speculation about transferring to another college team.
