Rookie quarterback Carson Beck will start for the Arizona Cardinals in the Hall of Fame Game against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night. This marks Beck's NFL starting debut, as the Cardinals will rest regular-season starters Jacoby Brissett and backup Gardner Minshew.

Beck, a third-round pick, expressed excitement for the opportunity, stating he doesn't get nervous for games. His focus will be on "great execution," "smart sound decisions," and operating the offense efficiently. Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett is eager to see Beck's progress.

Beck believes his college experience under coaches from the Nick Saban tree at Georgia and Miami has prepared him for the NFL's rigorous training camp. He approaches camp as a time for trial and error, focusing on learning and improving rather than solely on results, aiming to build chemistry and refine decision-making with his teammates.
