Siblings Make NFL History as Dolphins Cheerleader and Cardinals Rookie

Clear Facts

• Kylie Beck is a first-year Miami Dolphins cheerleader and her brother Carson Beck is a rookie quarterback with the Arizona Cardinals.
• The Becks mark the first known instance of siblings serving simultaneously in the NFL—one on the field and one as a cheerleader.
• The Dolphins and Cardinals do not play each other this season, avoiding any family conflict on game day.

The Beck family has entered new territory in professional football. A brother and sister are now part of the same league in very different roles. Kylie Beck joined the Dolphins cheerleading squad this season. Carson Beck is beginning his career as a quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.

“When I go to write this caption, I am beyond speechless at the fact that I get to say I am a MIAMI DOLPHINS CHEERLEADER!” Kylie wrote on Instagram after making the team.

The siblings’ paths crossed at a time when both were stepping into major opportunities. Kylie was celebrating her spot with the Dolphins while Carson prepared for his rookie year with the Cardinals. Their parents will not face the same on-field tension that families like the Kelces and Mannings have known in past seasons.

The Dolphins and Cardinals do not meet during the regular schedule. That fact removes any immediate family drama from the upcoming schedule. The league has not seen this particular combination of roles before, making the Becks a first in NFL history.
