>Derek Carr Memorial Fact of the Day
There are many words that can be used to describe Derek Carr: passionate, rocket-armed, athletic (he ran a 4.69 40-yard dash at the combine, and had a 34.5-inch vertical jump)...but perhaps most of all, tough.
According to DraftShark's injury tracker, the gutsy QB suffered 16 injuries during his career, including seven during his two seasons with the Saints. Despite this, Carr played in 169 out of a possible 180 games in his career, good for a 93.9% availability rate.
In 2023, he suffered two concussions and three injuries/re-injuries to his throwing shoulder, and yet didn't miss a single start.
The 2025 Saints will be banking on 1st round pick Kelvin Banks Jr. setting their offensive line straight, otherwise they'll be in a world of pain with the less gutsy and much more injury-prone rookie Tyler Shough at quarterback moving forward.
