The New York Jets are putting in serious work-scouting quarterbacks for the 2026 NFL Draft.

They grab 35-year-old Geno Smith as a short-term starter to bridge the gap while hunting a

franchise guy.

One name popping up big time is Miami's Carson Beck, who's catching their eye as a potential

mid-round steal.

Here this week, the Jets had dinner with Beck before Miami's pro-day, and they showed

up to check him out in person.

Offensive coordinator Frank Reich even chopped it up with him there, signaling real interest

in how he fits their scheme.

Beck bounced from Georgia to Miami last season and turned heads by rehabbing his stock.

He ran the hurricanes often smooth, throwing for 3,813 yards and 30 touchdowns, and got

them to the national championship game.

At the NFL Combine, Beck lit it up too, staying accurate and cool under pressure while slinging

the ball.

Folks see him as a solid game manager, ready for pro-ball.

With Ty Simpson maybe going earlier around pick 16, the Jets could snag back later and

develop him behind Smith, setting up their future without.
