Carson Beck had the same UCL surgery that Brock Purdy had last year. It is what is called UCL internal bracing procedure. The “traditional” UCL (Tommy John) procedure is more invasive, requiring a ligament graft, usually with a grafted ligament harvested from the wrist.
With UCL bracing, recovery is much faster and they expect Beck to start throwing this spring. If it had been traditional Tommy John, then Beck could forget about 2025. It is easily an 18 month recovery/rehab.
Still, investing several million of your NIL budget on him being “the same Carson Beck” comes with some risk.
