Raiders’ Derek Carr named to Pro Bowl as alternate for Tom Brady

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has been named to his third consecutive Pro Bowl. Carr was selected as an alternate to replace the Patriots’ Tom Brady, who is preparing to face the Eagles in Super Bowl LII. Carr joins teammates Rodney Hudson, Khalil Mack, Kelechi Osemele and Donald Penn for Sunday’s Pro Bowl in Orlando. “Fans… it was not the year we wanted, but to still be recognized by you, #RaiderNation, fans everywhere, and players and coaches you go against as one of these players is an extremely high honor that I will always be thankful for!,” Carr tweeted Monday. Carr joins former Raiders quarterbacks Ken Stabler and Rich Gannon to be named to three Pro Bowls. Carr finished the season with 3,496 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The Pro Bowl takes place Sunday at noon and will be broadcast on ESPN.
