The early mock drafts suggest Carson Beck won't have to wait long to hear his name called during next year's NFL draft. Most projections have the Georgia quarterback as the first player off the board, and almost all have him selected within the top five picks.
But don't take their word for it. Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack was also singing Beck’s praises Monday, ahead of No. 4 Alabama’s matchup against No. 2 Georgia this weekend.
“Carson Beck, is as good as it comes in college football right now,” Wommack said. “Incredibly efficient with his decision-making. Does not take many sacks. Rarely turns the ball over. Takes care of the football. I think he does a really tremendous job in the intermediate throwing game. He has great accuracy. Really quick release, great decision-maker. Just so impressed by him the more I watch.”
If Beck lives up to expectations, he'll join a long list of first-round passers Alabama has faced in recent years. Over the past 20 NFL drafts, 13 quarterbacks who faced Alabama in the preceding season went on to become first-rounders.
Here's a look at how each of them fared against Alabama before heading to the next level.
