David Carr: Texans didn’t want distraction of drafting my brother

Carr spoke to reporters about his younger brother this past week in Houston leading up to tomorrow’s Super Bowl.

“Usually you would want to uncover every stone and make sure you at least had a conversation with (Derek),” Carr said, via CBS Houston. “I think having been (with the Texans) and the way we left and Derek kind of was a part of it. I don’t know if (the Texans) wanted that attention or distraction they just wanted a guy they could bring and play football.”

David believes the Texans may have thought playing in Houston would have been too much for Derek because of how his career ended.
