This summer, somehow, John Beck just became the Washington Redskins’ quarterback.

How this happened is not clear to a lot of people. Even t Mike Shanahan, Redskins coach, stirred the idea during the draft when he talked about Beck’s potential and did not choose a quarterback. That sort of endorsement and the impending dismissal of Donovan McNabb as well as the free agency of Rex Grossman, all of these gave a glimmer of hope to the almost 30-year-old player with all of four losing starts and 60 thrown NF passes to his name.

And without question, John Beck is definitely going to grab the opportunity.

And with everybody’s surprise, Beck was on the radio and broadcasting to the whole world that he has been trying to be the starting quarterback ever since he can remember.

So, for those who are really not very familiar, who exactly is John Beck?

To start, Beck is oozing with confidence, no question about it.

According to receiver Antony Armstrong, John Beck is relentless, and even during the lockout Armstrong said that Beck has been sending him numerous text messages as well as phone calls wanting to talk about plays and formations.

This is something that is very remarkable about Beck, especially if people know that Armstrong lives in the D.C. area during the summer, while Beck was in San Diego. And that meant that Beck has to fly using his own money, and he did it not just once but several times, just to throw to receivers. And for Beck, all of these are nothing compared to having the chance of a lifetime.

Another instance, Leonard Hankerson, just drafted by the Redskins from the University of Miami, has received a phone call from Beck one day asking him of his complete home address, and just a couple of days after, Hankerson received a package from UPS with all the photocopies of all the plays from the team’s playbook.

Niles Paul, a receiver from Nebraska, also experienced the same thing. He also received a package from Beck, a binder of plays. And one time, Hankerson decided to visit Beck in San Diego and the two worked on pass plays every single day. This is the kind of dedication that Jon Beck gives to his team, and to his career. And if this is not enough, then he would still be willing to go an extra mile, he does not care whether he has to spend extra, or exert more effort, what is important for him is his dream and to be the best.
