Derek Carr is joining UCLA's football program in a special advisory role under first-year head coach Bob Chesney. Carr will assist the coaching staff with its quarterbacks and help with game planning, per NFL Trade Rumors citing Adam Schefter.
Most outlets describe Carr's position as a special advisor role, though one report characterizes him as a volunteer coach. ESPN noted that Carr previously played for the Raiders and Saints. The move comes as UCLA looks to turn around its program under Chesney's inaugural season as head coach.
Carr spent the past several seasons as an active NFL player before stepping away from the game. Earlier this year, he indicated he had not completely closed the door on a potential comeback, though the timing of this UCLA appointment suggests those comeback rumors may now be resolved.
