“This Is Why He Is Getting Traded”: Derek Carr’s Embarrassing Griddy Routine Cracks NFL World With Laughter

The 2023 Pro Bowl games just ended with the Eli Manning-led NFC emerging victorious over brother Peyton’s AFC. There was intensity and celebrations as the 35-33 flag football game decided the fortunes of the winning NFC side. However, AFC quarterback Derek Carr didn’t hesitate to bring out the Griddy moves after throwing a touchdown.

The Griddy was in full swing in this year’s Pro Bowl at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. From Justin Jefferson to Trevon Diggs’ son Aaiden, the sideline show was on fire. When Derek Carr connected with Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase, fans were expecting Chase to do his trademark Griddy. However, nobody saw Carr’s attempt coming.

Fans were not impressed with Carr’s moves

In the three AFC-NFC flag football games, the NFC made up for a lot of points after the AFC won five skill games and the second flag game. Geno Smith won it for the NFC in the first game, only for AFC to bounce back with Trevor Lawrence in game 2. And it all came down to Kirk Cousins vs Derek Carr, to decide the Pro Bowl Champions.

Cousins and the NFC won 35-33 overall against the former Las Vegas Raiders QB. And this made the fans roast the ‘Griddy’ harder.

Also, fans compared the 9-year veteran QB’s attempt to New England Patriots QB Mac Jones‘ Griddy routine, which made quite a few heads turn.

Derek Carr had the perfect person to guide him

Carr could have taken a few tips from the inventor of the Griddy himself, Justin Jefferson. The Minnesota Vikings wideout was present at the games and even taught a young reporter, Jeremiah, the basics of his now-viral dance move. And Jeremiah did a flawless job on the first go that even impressed Jefferson himself.

Furthermore, New York Giants nose tackle Dexter Lawrence’s nephew also got his chance to shake with Justin. In fact, Jefferson had heard about his moves. And the kid shocked the league’s receiving yards leader.

However, after a 31-point stellar display in the Precision Passing skill games and giving the AFC the momentary lead, Derek Carr deserved a dance. With his next franchise in the league uncertain, Carr needed to blow out. And there are a few options available for 2023, like the Buccaneers and the Indianapolis Colts. Moreover, the Raiders will look to avoid the $40 million cap hit and arrive at a decision on the QB before February 15.
