Carr: Walking Away From Football Was Tougher Than $30 Million

Four-time Pro Bowler Derek Carr opened up on life after football and the challenges quarterbacks face. He said young QBs struggle because practice can’t simulate real-game speed, noting defensive tackles “are almost as fast as you.” Carr emphasized trusting the pocket and finding completions when things break down. On his retirement, Carr admitted walking away from $30 million was tough, but stepping away from the game he loved was harder. Though still training, Carr insists he’s retired—while leaving the door ever so slightly open.
