The Memphis Showboats selected Bean first overall in the 2024 UFL draft, according to
their X account.
ANALYSISIn each of Bean's four years at the collegiate level, he threw more than 100 passes for at least 1,000 yards. However, 2023 is when Bean excelled most, as persisting back injuries for Kansas quarterback
Jalon Daniels provided his older teammate another season to showcase himself. 2023 saw Bean log 2,130 passing yards and 21 touchdowns overall, both career highs that boosted his standing, especially for the 2024 UFL draft. Whether or not he takes that UFL route is in question, considering the NFL's Indianapolis Colts still have him signed to an undrafted free agent contract.
