Oakland Raiders general manager Mike Mayock had high praise for quarterback Derek Carr during the first day of the NFL Scouting Combine.
“Is it a coach and GM’s job to always keep your eye out for ways to improve the position? Yes. But it’s really hard to improve on Derek Carr.”
The general manager added that the team believes it’s “pretty good at quarterback” with backup AJ McCarron behind Carr.
