Carson Beck, the Georgia quarterback, is expected to be an early first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft. There is still time for the new season to start, but some analysts have already started predicting Beck as the No. 1 overall pick.
According to the On3 Sports ranking, Beck’s NIL valuation of $1.6 million is the fifth-highest in the sport. The 21-year-old has won two National Championships in 2021 and 2022. Beck is the perfect example of earning money for a player of high reputation in the name, image, and likeness era.

Beck signed his first important NIL partnership with Zero FG Energy Drink last year. The energy drink is a natural citrus and berry-flavored carbonated concoction. It also contains green tea extract for caffeine and is rich in vitamins and nutritional superfoods. This partnership is the first for Zero FG in the NIL world, as they have not worked with a college athlete before.
He has also collaborated with The Players’ Lounge, which started as an NFT platform but has now shifted to creating content and experiences for fans. In addition to these two, the Georgia star has signed a contract with Associated Credit Union.
ESPN NFL draft expert Matt Miller believes Beck will be a No. 1 pick soon. He stated, “Carson Beck’s best quality is that big right arm that allows him to make throws to every level of the field. He’s a super fast processor in the pocket. No, he’s not going to be the most mobile quarterback. That’s not part of his game. But his ability to see the entire field and execute high-level throws. And it’s the potential.”
“Remember, last year, his first year as a starter, replacing Stetson Bennett – the Georgia offense was actually better in 2023 than it was in previous years, despite the fact that they didn’t get back to that national championship title. So I think Beck is that player who is the top quarterback in this class, because of how well he protects himself in the pocket and what he does with that big right arm,” NIL Daily reported.

Stealing the show in style
The QB has 90K Instagram followers. It is all because of the growth in his athletic career so far and the strong support of the Georgia fanbase. IG is a platform the brand heavily focuses on.
In his first year as Bulldogs, Beck led Georgia to the SEC Championship and helped the team win by 63-3 over Florida State in the Orange Bowl.

These stats clearly highlight that he is trying his best to excel and prove to his fans and supporters that he could be a No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
