Carson Beck is off to a hot start in his first taste of the NFL.
The Arizona Cardinals tabbed Beck as the starting quarterback for Thursday’s Hall of Fame Game exhibition contest against the Carolina Panthers. The former Georgia and Miami quarterback is putting on a show in the first half.
Beck’s first NFL touchdown pass came in the 2nd quarter, putting Arizona up 14-7 after a successful extra point.
