Beck Faces Boos but Shines in Combine Drills

Carson Beck, the former University of Miami quarterback, faced a hostile reception from Indiana fans during his workout at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Saturday, but the 23-year-old remained composed and delivered several accurate passes to impress scouts.

Beck, who led Miami to the College Football Playoff national championship game before a 27-21 loss to Indiana in January, drew loud boos from the crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium each time he took the field for throwing drills. The jeers stemmed from the Hoosiers' victory and Beck's decision to leave the field immediately after the game without congratulating Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, a move that some viewed as poor sportsmanship. Despite the crowd's reaction, which was audible on the NFL Network broadcast, Beck smiled through the noise and focused on his performance, connecting on routine post routes, deep balls, and other throws to receivers including Washington's Denzel Boston, Notre Dame's Malachi Fields, and his former Miami teammate CJ Daniels.

The Jacksonville native capped his session with an impressive deep throw from his own 10-yard line, hitting a receiver near the opposite 35-yard line....
