Ahead of his second season as Georgia's starter, quarterback Carson Beck is drawing high comparisons from NFL scouts.

Per ESPN's Jordan Reid, one NFC southeast area scout compared Beck to a former No. 1 overall pick.

"Think [Jared] Goff coming out of Cal. They have a lot of similarities," the scout said.

Goff, who spent three years at Cal from 2013 to 2015, had 4,714 passing yards and 43 touchdowns in his final year, earning All-Pac-12 honors. If Beck can have that kind of success, he could be in a position to be one of the first quarterbacks off the board, should he choose to opt for the NFL draft.
