Raiders’ Derek Carr named to Pro Bowl
The Raiders’ Derek Carr was named to his first Pro Bowl on Wednesday, after Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers dropped out with an injury.
Carr is the first Raiders quarterback to be named to the Pro Bowl since Rich Gannon in the 2002 season, and joins teammates Khalil Mack and Charles Woodson and will play in the NFL’s all-star game in Honolulu on Jan. 31.
[...] I want to thank my family, my friends, my teammates, my coaches and all of Raider Nation for their support.
[...] I want to thank everyone who voted for me and all of the opposing players and coaches that voted for me.
