For years, the Oakland Raiders were known for being the NFLs renegade franchise. Their fans reside in the Black Hole and refer to themselves as the dark side. However, its difficult for the organization to keep their scary reputation with Derek Carr as their quarterback. The face of the Raiders just happens to be one of the nicest players in the league.
The genuine, always-smiling and friendly Carr struck again on Tuesday.
..
As he pulled to the side of the road and prepared to take a gas can to the gas station for a fill-up, a young man in a dark SUV pulled up and asked Reeser if all was OK. When he told the stranger of his issue, the driver told Reeser to hop in and he would drive him to a gas station.
..
As Reeser was leaving, Carr asked him if there if were anything Reeser would like to him to pray for. Reeser mentioned three things. Carr then asked if he could pray for him, and put his hand on Reesers shoulder and prayed.
It was such an empowering moment, Reeser said. Its just not something I expected to happen after running out of gas. Some of the people Ive told about it said maybe it was a sign to help me restore my faith in people doing the right thing.

Carr is in for the Tim Tebow treatment from the sports media, for sure.

Yes, my son and I were proud of the Raiders last season. So how did you come to be a Raiders fan? I’m from there so I have an excuse, lol.
Carr has made the Raiders likable again.
