David Duke Carr[1] (born July 21, 1979) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback for 10 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Fresno State Bulldogs and was selected first overall by the Houston Texans in the 2002 NFL draft. Carr also played for the Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, and San Francisco 49ers. With the Giants, Carr was a member of the team that won Super Bowl XLVI over the New England Patriots. He currently serves as the offensive coordinator at Bakersfield Christian High School.

Carr's status as a number one draft pick and subsequent career has led to him being considered a draft bust.[2][3][4][5][6] In 2016, he joined the NFL Network as an analyst.[7]
