The New York Jets are shaking up their quarterback situation this off-season after a disappointing

group last year.

They've traded for Geno Smith to take over as starter and are hunting for more depth

through free agency and the upcoming draft.

Team leaders have already set up meetings with promising prospects, including a sit-down

with quarterback Carson Beck from Miami.

General manager Darren Moogie is also heading to Miami's pro-day to check him out in person.

Beck had a strong senior season, passing for 3,813 yards with a 72.4% completion rate,

30 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.

He led his team to the national championship game.

Beck fits as a potential late-round pick, maybe rounds 4 through 7, where the Jets could

grab him without using their higher selections.

His consistent production, over 3,400 yards, each full-starting year, makes him a smart

back-up option.

As the draft gets closer, keep an eye on Beck.

He could be the piece that bolsters New York's quarterback room for the long haul.
