Former NFL quarterback Derek Carr has joined UCLA's coaching staff as a special adviser to head coach Bob Chesney. Carr, 35, will assist the Bruins' offensive staff with game planning and strategy, as well as work with the team's quarterbacks. UCLA announced the hiring on Monday, praising Carr's experience, leadership, and passion for the game.
