ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Derek Carr knows what it is like to feel underappreciated as the NFL draft approaches.
After all, Jon Gruden himself wondered why Carr was not being considered for the No. 1 overall pick in 2014 before he slipped to the second round, No. 36 overall, to the Oakland Raiders.
So, yeah, Carr feels for Louisville’s Lamar Jackson, who is as polarizing a quarterback figure as any in recent drafts, what with some observers saying he should switch to receiver. This despite a resume that includes not only the Davey O’Brien and Maxwell awards but also the Heisman Trophy as a true sophomore.
