Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has the fourth-most touchdowns of any quarterback in NFL history through his first four seasons.

When the Oakland Raiders drafted Derek Carr in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft, the plan was not to have him start right away. However, he grabbed that starting quarterback job during the summer, and four years later, has been one of the more productive passers in the NFL.

In the history of the NFL, only three other quarterbacks have thrown more touchdown passes than Carr through their first four seasons. Let that sink in a bit, as you consider how bad that 2014 team was, and how far he has brought this organization back from being one of the worst teams in football.

The list is pretty incredible if you look at it. Dan Marino is first with 142, Peyton Manning is second with 111, and Russell Wilson is third with 106. Carr comes in at No. 4 with 103, and Andrew Luck rounds out the top-five ever with 101.

Of all three, only Wilson’s 34 interceptions are lower than Carr’s 44.

Heading into 2018, the only thing on Carr’s mind is winning ballgames. Through his first four NFL seasons, he has only one winning season, although he did lead the Raiders to an incredible 12-3 record as a starer in that year (2016).

In addition, he has his best wide receiver group in his career, as the team recently added Martavis Bryant to a unit that already included Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson. He should have plenty of opportunities to add to his touchdown total, as he tries to get his team back to the top of the AFC West for the first time since 2002.

Throughout his four NFL seasons, Carr has missed only two games due to injury, which is pretty incredible considering he broke his back last season. With the group of weapons he has in 2018, Carr is sure to have his fair share of touchdowns passes once again.
