Steelers Weigh Miami’s Carson Beck as a Mid-Round Quarterback Target

Overview

• The Steelers hosted Beck on a Top-30 pre-draft visit and, per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette cited by Yahoo, are drawn to his 43 college starts that include a national title run at Georgia.
• Team reporter Gerry Dulac says Pittsburgh does not plan to use pick No. 21 on a quarterback because it views only Fernando Mendoza as first-round caliber in this class.
• Beck brings size at 6-foot-5 and production across Georgia and Miami, including 11,725 passing yards and 88 touchdowns, plus an ACC-best 72.4% completion rate for Miami in 2025.
• Analysts note red flags after his 2024 UCL surgery, citing reduced deep-ball zip, streaky downfield accuracy, and back-to-back 12-interception seasons.
• Most projections place Beck in Rounds 3–4, and if Pittsburgh selects him he could push Will Howard for reps while putting Mason Rudolph’s roster spot at risk.
