Report: Carson Beck's Draft Value Still Shockingly Low Ahead of Senior Season With Hurricanes
Former Georgia Bulldogs starting quarterback Carson Beck is the most accomplished signal caller in the college ranks. The senior has not one, but two National Championships on his resume. A rare feat that legends of the sport have been unable to accomplish.
It is a major reason why he landed a massive NIL deal to take his talents to the Miami Hurricanes for his final season as a college football player. According to various reports, the two-time champ will earn a massive $10 million from The U to bring his title-winning pedigree to Miami in 2025.
While he seems to have the talent to play in the NFL right now, the decision to remain a collegiate athlete was the right one. Because he will likely make 10 times more at Miami than he would as a rookie in the NFL.
Carson Beck NIL contract: One year, $10 million
Carson Beck has a fifth-round NFL Draft grade
'Some scouts I've spoken with grade him as a second-round prospect. While others stamped him with a fifth-round grade. I agree with the latter until further notice,' Sportskeeda NFL insider Tony Pauline reported.
A fifth-round NFL Draft pick traditionally makes just over $4 million for a four-year deal. Meaning they earn over $1 million annually. Beck will get 10 times more from the Hurricanes in 2025.
Carson Beck stats: 3,485 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, 145.3 passer rating
Pauline says that 'Beck has next-level size and the arm strength necessary to make all the throws. He drives deep passes and is often right on the money with most of his throws.' Qualities that should make him a star at the next level. However, for as talented as his arm is, he makes a lot of mistakes and has big issues reading the field.
He will get one more season to prove he has the football IQ deserving of a premium pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Plum scores 28, Sparks withstand Wings' late run to win 97-96 as Bueckers misses potential winner
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Kelsey Plum scored 28 points, Dearica Hamby had 20 points and 10 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Sparks held on to beat the Dallas Wings 97-96 on Friday night after Paige Bueckers missed a potential winning 3-pointer. Plum gave Los Angeles a 95-82 lead with 4:25 remaining in the fourth quarter before Dallas closed on a 14-2 run. Plum made the Sparks' next basket at the 1:03 mark for a 97-91 lead. Bueckers answered with a quick layup to pull within four and the Sparks turned it over at the other end. JJ Quinerly sank a 3-pointer from the corner with 15 seconds left for a one-point deficit. Plum missed two free throws and Dallas took over possession after a jump ball. Bueckers raced up the floor for a contested 3-pointer that rolled off the rim as time expired. Azura Stevens and Rickea Jackson each added 15 points for Los Angeles (16-17). Julie Allemand had 12 points, 10 assists and four steals. Plum reached 4,000 career points in the first half. Hamby had at least 20 points and 10 rebounds for the sixth time this season. Bueckers finished with 29 points on 12-of-21 shooting for Dallas (9-25). The No. 1 pick in the draft became the fastest player in franchise history to score 500 points. Maddy Siegrist added 15 points, Quinerly had 11 points and nine assists, and Aziaha James scored 10 points. Los Angeles led 53-50 at halftime behind double-digit scoring by Hamby, Jackson and Plum. ___ AP WNBA:

Lee5 takes Portland Classic lead. Inkster falls shot short in bid to make cut at age 65
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Jeongeun Lee5 shot a 6-under 67 on Friday to take the lead in The Standard Portland Classic, while 65-year-old Juli Inkster fell short in her bid to become the oldest player to make a cut in LPGA Tour history. Lee5, the 36-year-old South Korean player, had a 12-under 132 total at Columbia Edgewater. Winless on the LPGA Tour, she birdied the final five holes on her front nine in the morning round. 'When we are playing well, we expect it to continue,' Lee5 said. 'So, I want to really concentrate and focus going into the weekend. The past two rounds I had great energy, good shots, and good putts.' Inkster, the Hall of Famer who won the 1999 event, followed her opening 69 with a 74 to miss the cut by a stroke. JoAnne Carner was 64 when she made the cut in the 2004 Chick Fil-A Charity Championship. 'Wasn't very inspiring,' Inkster said. 'I didn't drive the ball as well as I did yesterday. Kind of a grind out there today.' She played to prepare for the U.S. Senior Women's Open next week. Grace Kim of Australia and Gurleen Kaur of the United States were a stroke back on the tree-lined course. Kim had a 65, and Kaur shot 68. Akie Iwai had her second straight 67 to join Pajaree Anannarukarn (67) and Ashleigh Buhai (68) at 10 under. Amateur Kiara Romero had a 69 to get to 8 under. The University of Oregon star won the 2023 U.S. Girls' Junior and 2025 Big Ten title. 'It feels really good just to see my game match up against some of these pros, just getting more comfortable playing in front of crowds and stuff,' Romero said. 'My first time playing in front of a big crowd I kind of got a little bit shaken up and was nervous out there.' Two-time champion Brooke Henderson, a stroke back after an opening 65, had a 73 to fall to 6 under. The Canadian star is winless since January 2023 and has dropped to 52nd in the world. First-round leader Adela Cernousek followed her opening 64 with a 75 to drop to 5 under. Angel Yin, the top-ranked player in the field at No. 7, was 2 under after a 70. No. 9 Haeran Ryu also was 6 under, shooting 72. Defending champion Moriya Jutanugarn missed the cut with rounds of 73 and 74. The tournament is the longest continuous event on the LPGA Tour except for the majors, dating to 1972. ___ AP golf:
