Beck, 28, entered the league as an undrafted free agent back in 2019.
The former Texas product has been on five different NFL teams over that period. Beck spent the longest time with the Denver Broncos from 2019 through 2022.
That is where Beck crossed over with current Jets GM Darren Mougey.
During his career, Beck has appeared in 70 games and has made 22 starts. Beck has 25 career receptions for 214 receiving yards with three receiving touchdowns.
However, the highlight of his NFL career to date was returning a kickoff for a touchdown as a fullback. During the 2023 season as a member of the Houston Texans, Beck initially muffs the kick at the 10-yard line, but collects himself and the ball taking it 90 yards to the crib
“This is an interesting one. Jets sign veteran FB Andrew Beck. The Lions offense had used a FB in the past, although not this past season. Wonder if that’s something [Tanner] Engstrand plans to implement in his offense in 2025,” The Jet Press speculated on social media. “Also of note that Darren Mougey’s first player transaction is signing a former Broncos player. Probably won’t be the only one this offseason.”
