Former NFL quarterback Derek Carr has joined the UCLA football staff as a special advisor to head coach Bob Chesney, the program announced Monday.
Carr will assist Chesney and the Bruins’ offensive staff with game-planning strategy, while also working with the team’s quarterbacks.
“We are excited to welcome Derek to our program,” Chesney said in a release announcing the hire. “He has played the quarterback position at a high level for more than a decade, and his experience, leadership and football knowledge will be an incredible resource for our coaching staff and student-athletes. What stands out most is his passion for the game and his commitment to developing young people. Derek will have a tremendous impact on our players and is a great addition to our program.”
