2013 Top College Football Players: Derek Carr



Derek Carr-  Derek Carr is one of the best quarterbacks in College football, especially when if comes to Non- BCS conferences.  Derek is the brother to New York Giants backup quarterback David Carr, who also played for Fresno State.  Derek is very similar to his brother in a lot of ways including having a very powerful arm  He also has a very quick release and can put the ball right on his receivers hands for them to make a play for him.  He also does not make a lot of mistakes, meaning he does not turn the ball over.  If he does not have anywhere to go with the ball he either throws the ball away or uses his feet to make a play.  You will not see him take many sacks or force balls into places.  With that being said he is a gunslinger, but he knows the right time to force balls into tight windows, but unlike over quarterbacks he has the arm strength to fit balls in tight windows.  Carr's numbers last year were very impressive, he threw for 4,104 yards and tossed 37 touchdown passes to only 7 interceptions.  Derek I believe will be a very good quarterback at the next level because he has the ability to make all the throws necessary in the NFL where the game is a lot faster.  The one thing that I could see that he could improve on is not staring down his receivers.  Other then that he will have a great season for a loaded Fresno State football team and could possibly be in the running for the Heisman trophy.
