Derek Carr is not much of a rushing QB and has accounted for a lowly 4.1% of his offense's carries this year, placing him in the 12th percentile among quarterbacks.Derek Carr has grinded out a mere 4.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground this year, one of the lowest figures in football among quarterbacks (11th percentile).
