Johnny Manziel accepts Derek Carr’s offer of assistance

While Derek Carr enjoys a breakout season for the Raiders, the quarterback picked 14 spots earlier in the 2014 draft, Johnny Manziel, finds himself out of football.

In an interview recently with The MMQB’s Peter King, Carr said he’d like to help Manziel if he could.

“What’s crazy,” Carr said as we drove in the predawn toward Oakland, “is, you know, I spent a lot of time around him. He’s such a good dude. I obviously wish him the best, you know I hope that … hopefully one day he’ll reach out, [I’d] be able to talk to him and be a friend to him.
