Former Cougar Quarterback John Beck finally got the call on his future in the National Football League, as the Miami Dolphins took him with the 40th pick in the 2nd round of the Draft.

This was the place that many penciled Beck to go to.  What makes this ultra sweet for Cougar fans is that the Dolphins who are well known for having Quarterback issues right now had the opportunity in the first round of the draft at pick #9 to take the over hyped Brady Quinn from Notre Dame, but they gladly passed.  Coach Cam Cameron and his staff knew that Beck was the real deal, and Beck was their guy to take over this franchise.

Dolphins fans are still looking for the next Marino, they are going in the right direction finding him with Beck

There was alot of praise for Beck during the draft telecast yesterday.  Ron Jaworski who is a Quarterback expert said his signature catch phrase for Beck, "he projects well in the National Football League..."  Great to see Beck get all of this attention.

This is the highest a former Cougar has went this high in the NFL Draft since Doug Jolley and Ryan Denney were taken in Round 2 of the 2002 Draft.

Congrats to Beck!  I finally have a Pro team who I'm a huge fan of now.

Will Smith welcomes you!
