Beck is competing against veteran quarterbacks like Gardner Minshew and last yearâs starter Jacoby Brissett. Drama has ensued earlier in the offseason, when reports came out that Brissett was looking for a new deal. Despite only going 1-11 in 2025, the 33-year-old wants more guaranteed money for next year. If the franchise and Brissett canât come to an agreement, then Beck will surely be thrown into the fire of being the teamâs starter.

A position he seemed comfortable with during his press conference because of his six-year collegiate career. Beck started 55 games during his time across the Bulldogs and Hurricanes, with last year being his best statistical season yet. He threw for 3,813 passing yards, 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with a 72.4 competition percentage.
The production is there and looks to continue, as Beck highlighted the talent that Arizona possess for weapons. Wide receivers like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson, All-Pro tight end Trey McBride and top draft pick Jeremiyah Love in the backfield, Beck is set up to succeed if given the starting job in the fall. To get to that point, Beck will need to rely on his experience to navigate through minicamp and preseason to earn head coach Mike LaFleurâs trust.
