What Does Derek Carr’S Tattoo Mean

Derek Carr’s tattoo reads “Check Down,” referencing a football play in which a quarterback passes the ball to a receiver that is closer to the line of scrimmage instead of throwing the ball downfield. This type of play is often seen when the quarterback is dealing with pressure from a defense, as it allows the offense to secure a short gain and move the ball closer to the end zone. The tattoo has come to represent Carr’s style of play–knowing when to take risks and when to play it safe–as well as his determination and resilience in overcoming any challenge.
