Cardinals Rookie Quarterback Logs 13-Hour Days at Team Facility

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Carson Beck said he has worked 13-hour days at the team facility since arriving nearly six weeks ago. Beck said he chose not to ease into his new role. He has spent time after rookie meetings with the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and he has access to the head coach when questions arise.

"From day one, for me, I didn't want to ease into anything, to be completely honest," Beck said Wednesday.

Beck said he has spent nearly six weeks either at home or at the facility learning the playbook. He said the extra time includes meetings and conversations with coaches. "It's really cool because, obviously, Coach Schaub did it," Beck said. "He played the position, which it's so hard to understand what the position of quarterback is if you haven't actually done it, right?

" Beck added that he has tried to absorb every detail from the coaching staff. "Coach Hackett has coached amazing quarterbacks, just such a smart mind. Coach LaFleur's coached amazing quarterbacks, such a smart mind," Beck said. " Beck said eating and sleeping remain part of his schedule.

"Because that's pretty necessary as well, being a football player," Beck said. "But, really, that's all I've done. " "So, obviously the playbook is big," Beck said.
