Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has offered to help Johnny Manziel, with the hope he gets another chance in the NFL.
The 2014 NFL Draft is notable for many reasons, particularly for fans of the Oakland Raiders. They saw their team draft arguably the best defensive player in all of football, Khalil Mack, with the 5th overall pick. And then they saw their future franchise quarterback, Derek Carr, get selected in the second round, 36th overall.
For fans of the Cleveland Browns, however, that draft is famous for other reasons. Cleveland drafted a former Heisman trophy winning superstar QB with plenty of off-field baggage with the 22nd overall pick.
The success of each player and each team since this time goes without saying. But in a recent interview with Peter King of Sports Illustrated, the topic of Manziel came up, and Carr offered to help out the troubled quarterback.
“You mean getting drafted after Johnny Manziel put a chip on your shoulder?” King joked to Carr.
“You know what’s crazy is I spent obviously a lot of time around him and he’s such a good dude, man. I honestly wish him the best,” Carr responded. “Hopefully one day he’ll reach out and I’ll be able to talk to him and be a friend to him.”
“You’d love the chance to help?” King asked.
“Absolutely, man,” Carr quickly answered. “Because he’s so talented. So I understand why he was drafted where he was — super talented, could throw, could run, dynamic athlete, dynamic player.
“Obviously he had a little trouble… he’s still young though, so I think, you know, hopefully he’ll get another chance someday and he’ll be all right.”
Manziel caught wind of Carr’s offer, and tagged him in a tweet, to which Derek responded.
@JManziel2 absolutely bro! I'll be in touch for sure.

This will surely wait until the offseason, but don’t be surprised if Carr follows through with his offer.
