The Arizona Cardinals announced on Tuesday that rookie quarterback Carson Beck will be starting their Hall of Fame game against the Carolina Panthers in Canton, Ohio, which is taking place on Thursday.
This decision doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise, as starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett and backup Gardner Minshew II aren’t expected to suit up for the game. Therefore, Beck, who is currently Arizona’s third-string quarterback, is getting the start.

While this decision doesn’t suggest Beck is in play to start for the Cardinals once the games begin to count, that isn’t stopping his sister, Kylie Beck (who is a cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins) from celebrating it.
She reposted the Cardinals’ Instagram post of the announcement to her Instagram story on Tuesday and added, “let’s gooooo👏”.

This will be Carson’s first opportunity to show the football community that his much-publicized 2026 NFL Draft slide was a mistake.
Beck, who won two national championships with Georgia, entered the 2025-26 season at the University of Miami with the potential to be a first-round pick. But he fell to the third round despite leading Miami to the national championship game, potentially in part because there were questions about his personality.
Kylie Beck was a cheerleader for Georgia when both she and Carson attended there. Kylie has since become a cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins.
Perhaps a great performance from Beck in the Hall of Fame game will push him past Minshew II for the Cardinals’ backup quarterback job, but the starting role still belongs to Brissett.
