The Pro Bowl is typically a place for NFL players to take a break, have fun, and compete in competitions with fellow players in their respective conferences.
However, one player could be taking advantage of the spotlight, given his performance in last night’s festivities.

Derek Carr has expressed his frustrations with the Las Vegas Raiders and will most likely be switching teams this offseason, pending a major change in ideology.
Last night, Carr could have been using his national exposure for his good, effectively having a nationally televised tryout.
Although he was a late addition to the Pro Bowl, Carr took full advantage of this opportunity.
Carr won the Precision Passing competition last night, letting the NFL world know that he is still a viable option for their team.
Of course, Carr’s career NFL record is under .500, but a change of scenery could be good for him, getting the opportunity to start fresh with a different scheme.
Will any team be willing to take a chance on Carr?
Sure, Carr looked great last night.
But, his performance came in a laid-back setting, not wearing a helmet or pads.
There also wasn’t anyone defending him, and he was able to have all the time he needed to make his throws.
The real world in the NFL isn’t as watered-down, and Carr still hasn’t proven that he is an elite quarterback in the NFL.
At best, he is a serviceable starter that won’t be the main reason that your team loses games.
