I have, and I think we all should take note of Derek Carr’s incredible leadership. He is kind, thoughtful, and these messages are very powerful.
On Gruden “Hate the sin, love the man”
On Ruggs “He needs love, if no one is going to give it to him, I will”
He is special.
“He needs people to love him right now ... If no one else will do it, I’ll do it.”
Derek Carr says he'll always be there for former teammate Henry Ruggs.
