Rookie quarterback Carson Beck has hit a major milestone. The Arizona Cardinals third-round pick threw his first professional touchdown in the second quarter of the Hall of Fame Game.
Early in the second quarter, Beck hit Simi Fehoko on a fade route from the redzone. That was good for the second touchdown drive of the night that Beck led the Cardinals offense on, but the first that ended with a touchdown pass.

At the time, Beck had completed 10 of 12 passes for 134 yards and the touchdown. That included a pair of deep shots that set up both scores for the Cardinals.
The Cardinals started Beck , with presumed starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett getting the day off. However, there is a very real chance that Beck could force the Cardinals’ hand and create a larger quarterback controversy. In particular, as Arizona looks to plan for the future.
“I want to see a clean operation and make the right play for the Cardinals in that time,” head coach Mike LaFleur previously said he wanted from Beck.
Carson Beck Has Been Improving in Arizona Cardinals Training Camp
Early in Arizona Cardinals Training Camp, there were some concerns about how Carson Beck was playing. In particular, after a couple of videos showing him making mistakes popped up online. However, since then, he has been rapidly improving.
Beck’s accuracy, in particular, has caught the attention of the Cardinals coaches. That includes head coach Mike LaFleur.
“I thought his accuracy is on point (Sunday),” LaFleur said. “I thought it was probably the best, and I thought I think our second and third groups have operated a pretty high clip thus far. Probably the best that they have operated in terms of just you know getting set and going. … They were mimicking the plays that we’re going to run on Thursday night, so that they have a good feel for it.”
That accuracy is something that’s translated so far in the preseason. Add in his experience from college, and the Cardinals offense has looked good under Beck.
