A red-hot showing during Thursday’s Pro Bowl skills competition in Las Vegas afforded Derek Carr a perfect opportunity to throw shade at the Raiders amid ongoing speculation surrounding his future with the team.
Carr, who was selected as a replacement for the inaugural Pro Bowl Games on Tuesday, came through for his AFC brethren with a laser-sharp effort in the precision passing drill to kick off the night’s festivities. The four-time Pro Bowler racked up 31 total points in a competition where all six AFC and NFC quarterbacks took turns trying to accumulate points by hitting as many targets as possible in one minute.
After the clutch performance, Carr joined ESPN’s Ryan Clark for a sideline interview, where the 31-year-old was asked if he had have ever been that hot in Sin City. His response? “Not that hot,” Carr said, “It’s probably why I’m going somewhere else.”
