A retweet may not seem like much but, when you're as famous as Derek Carr, sometimes it's enough to have a huge impact.
Such was the case on Saturday, when an Amber Alert was issued for a missing Oakland toddler. The Raiders quarterback, who's a dad of two himself, retweeted the alert to his 247,000 followers. And it paid off.
Oakland police say they were contacted on Twitter by an alert citizen who had seen the Amber Alert there and noticed a vehicle matching the description in it. Police located the boy and returned him safely to his mother.
