  "account": "As the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers prepare to face off in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, it is worth considering the potential football history that Carson Beck might make. The Cardinals drafted Beck in the third round, suggesting he could potentially start in the game. However, it is highly unlikely that he will get the chance to start, as Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew II currently precede him on Arizona's depth chart. In a truly unique scenario, Beck might make history by throwing the first pass of the Hall of Fame Game, which would also mark the first pass of the NFL season. This would place him in a select and peculiar club, if he were to accomplish such a feat. It is worth noting, though, that Beck's last pass during his college career was an interception that helped secure Indiana's national championship victory in January. It is hoped that Beck's efforts during the Hall of Fame Game will yield better results.",
