Derek Carr has a lot of fond memories as a Las Vegas Raider but none of them came from last season.

Carr struggled during the 2022 season and admitted it this week to the media. He even said that the Raiders didn't get the best version of himself.

His struggles led to him getting benched for the final two games of the season before he joined the New Orleans Saints during the offseason.

He finished the 2022 season with only 3,522 yards passing, 24 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions.

He'll look to learn from that experience and in turn put up better numbers for the Saints once the 2023 season gets underway in September.
