While Las Vegas sports fans were originally skeptical about Derek Carr, especially after only making one playoff run in five seasons, everyone seemed to fall in love with him in the 2021-2022 season. In fact, Carr went from having a vocal minority calling for his job to the entire city cheering him on as their hero. Maybe that has to do with how he helped steer the ship through controversies in 2021, but it certainly endeared him to Sin City faithful.

Another thing fans love about Carr is his amazing stat sheet, which includes 4804 yards, 23 touchdowns,14 interceptions, and a passing rating of 94.0. Keep in mind, his passing numbers kept him in the top-five in the league all season long and he could have probably led the league if it wasn’t for his team constantly losing their best weapons. Las Vegas has something special with this young Quarterback.
