Derek Dallas Carr born March 28, 1991, is an American football quarterback for the National Football League’s Las Vegas Raiders (NFL). He attended Fresno State, where he earned first-team All-MWC accolades twice, and was drafted by the Raiders in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Carr was the youngest of three children born to Rodger and Sheryl Carr in Bakersfield, California.

He and his family lived in Bakersfield before moving to Sugar Land, Texas, in 2002, when his elder brother, David Carr, was selected first overall by the Houston Texans, who were in the process of expanding. Carr returned to Bakersfield with his family for his final year, where he attended Bakersfield Christian High School.

What does the tattoo on Derek Carr’s wrist mean?

The mark on Carr’s right wrist is called a Chi Rho, and it is a Christogram that consists of the two Greek letters that help make the Greek word “Christos” superimposed on each other.

The insignia was first employed as a military standard by Roman Emperor Constantine (or emblem).

The insignia also includes an infinity symbol.

Carr has also stated that it is a memorial to his grandfather, a late valued member of his family.
