NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah had high praise for Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, comparing him to an NFL legend and saying he has the chance to play at a similar level.

Jeremiah said Beck reminds him of Eli Manning, a two-time Super Bowl MVP and the top pick in the 2004 NFL draft.

"Considering his size, talent and play style, he reminds me of Eli Manning coming out of Ole Miss," Jeremiah wrote. "Like Manning, Beck excels from the pocket and plays to his size. Eli was a little underappreciated during his career, but he won his first title with a good rushing attack in an offense that required him to make plays in key moments.
