When Drew Brees retired in 2020, the New Orleans Saints weren’t 100% sure of their quarterback plans.
Since then, the Black & Gold have shuffled through five different starting quarterbacks to reach their newest leader: Derek Carr.
Carr was drafted 36th overall in 2014 by the then-Oakland Raiders out of Fresno State, where he had a shining college career.
The head coach that drafted Carr is one that Saints fans are familiar with: Dennis Allen.
Allen was the head coach for Oakland from 2012-2014, but only coached Carr for four games as Allen was fired after an 8-28 record.
