Carson Beck may be the one suiting up for the Arizona Cardinals this fall, but it’s his sister Kylie who has been stealing the spotlight during the offseason. The third-round rookie quarterback is considered one of the most intriguing developmental prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class, arriving in Arizona with elite college numbers, a 3.8 GPA, and the pedigree of a national championship contender.
But as Beck settles into his first NFL offseason, it’s an Instagram Story from Kylie that has the internet buzzing.

Over the weekend, Kylie Beck posted a pink bikini selfie on her Story that quickly drew attention online. The former Georgia cheerleader shared an upside-down selfie in a pink bikini while lying in the sun.
Kylie was a recognizable presence during Carson’s years at Georgia, where he served as a backup quarterback for three seasons before taking over as the starter in 2023. She cheered for the Bulldogs from 2020 through 2024, building her own social media following alongside her brother’s rising college profile. Her posts have periodically picked up broader attention in NFL and CFB circles throughout the 2025 and 2026 offseasons.
The latest photo was shared on her Instagram Story and widely circulated across college football fan accounts.
Carson Beck was selected by the Cardinals in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft at the 65th overall pick. He joins a quarterback room led by veteran Jacoby Brissett and also featuring Gardner Minshew. Beck completed 69.5 percent of his passes across six college seasons, throwing for over 11,000 career yards combined at Georgia and Miami.
The franchise GM Monti Ossenfort has previously said that the Cardinals want to get Beck in the building and add competition to the quarterback room. The Cardinals went 3-14 in 2025, the worst record in the NFC West. Beck played five seasons at Georgia before transferring to Miami for his final year and led the Hurricanes to the 2026 national championship game against Indiana, where he finished with 232 yards and one touchdown in a 27-21 loss.
Carson Beck Enters Rookie Camp as Arizona’s Most Watched Developmental QB
Beck’s entry into the NFL carried unusual attention even before his first snap. His college GPA of 3.8, went viral on draft weekend and added another talking point to an already closely followed prospect, arriving on the heels of a Combine appearance in Indianapolis, where Indiana fans audibly booed him during drills.
The Cardinals’ rebuild gives third-round pick Beck an unusual opportunity. Arizona holds the eighth pick in the 2027 draft and is not committed to a long-term starter, with Brissett’s deal expiring after 2026. Head coach Jonathan Gannon praised Beck’s work ethic during OTAs and said he has asked thorough questions about the offense while processing the playbook quickly.
Carson Beck threw for over 3,600 yards and 28 touchdowns in his lone season at Miami, operating within a dynamic Hurricanes offense under coordinator Shannon Dawson. In Georgia, he posted career highs of 3,941 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2023 before suffering a UCL elbow injury in 2024. NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah graded Beck’s combine performance as a B-plus, citing clean footwork and consistent ball placement as the strongest indicators of his long-term potential in a pro-style system.
Arizona Cardinals training camp opens in late July. Beck enters that camp as the most closely watched quarterback on the roster, not because the job is his, but because the franchise’s direction may depend on how he develops over the next 12 months.
