Davis (born 1984) is an American football tight end for the San
Francisco 49ers of the NFL. He was drafted in the first round (6th
overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft by the 49ers. Upon entering the league,
Davis signed to a five-year, $23 million deal that made him the highest
paid tight end at the time. In 2009 Davis, co-led the NFL in touchdown
receptions. In the 2011–12 NFL playoffs, Davis caught the game winning
touchdown pass from Alex Smith against the New Orleans Saints, now
referred to as "The Grab," or "The Catch III," in regard to "The Catch"
by Dwight Clark in 1982 and "The Catch II" by Terrell Owens in 1999.
Davis is considered one of the top tight ends in the NFL. In 2014 he was
on holdout. Davis attended Paul Public Charter School (Washington D.C.) in middle school and Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C., and was a letterman in football, basketball, and track & field. Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Davis was listed as the No. 4 tight end prospect of the class of 2003. While attending at Dunbar, he was teammates with future New York Jets kick return specialist and wide receiver, Joshua Cribbs. Davis enrolled in the University of Maryland, where he majored in studio art and played for the Maryland Terrapins football team. In 2003, Davis saw the most consistent action of any true freshman, playing in all thirteen contests. He had five receptions for 87 yards (11.8 avg) and led the kickoff coverage unit with eight solo tackles. In 2004, he played in every game, starting at H-back against Northern Illinois, Duke, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest. He finished second on the team with 27 catches for 441 yards and had 16.3 avg and three touchdowns. In 2005, Davis was a Consensus All-American and All-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team selection. He was a finalist for the Mackey Award, given to the nation’s top tight end. Davis was a studio art major at Maryland. Davis is nicknamed Duke because he looks identical to his father, whose name is Duke. College teammates later changed his nickname to "The Duke," and "Cyborg", a nickname earned playing for the Maryland Terrapins. Davis' brother, Vontae, is currently a cornerback for the Indianapolis Colts. Davis is an avid curling fan. He hosted an event for his charity in San Jose, CA in which the event was curling. Davis was named honorary captain of the Men's U.S. Olympic Curling team for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He attended most of the team's matches and is considered an ambassador for the game.

Derek Carr (born 1991) is an American football
quarterback for the Oakland Raiders of the NFL. He was drafted by the
Raiders in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college
football at Fresno State. Carr is the younger brother of former number
one overall pick and fellow Fresno State alumnus David Carr. He is not
the same Derek Carr who is the former quarterback for the University of
Tennessee at Martin. Carr enrolled as an early-entry freshman for the spring semester at Fresno State in 2009 so he could participate in spring football with the Bulldogs. Then-Fresno State head coach Pat Hill stated that Carr, a true freshman, was "in the mix" for the starting quarterback position as late as mid-July. However, days before the 2009 season began in September, Hill announced junior Ryan Colburn would start over Carr. After red-shirting his 2010 season, Carr took over the starting B position for Fresno State in the fall of 2011. During his three years as a starter, he threw for 12,843 passing yards and 113 touchdowns. He wore number 4 as an homage to his favorite NFL player, Brett Favre. Carr received the 2013 CFPA Elite QB Award for his performance over three seasons at Fresno State. He joined fellow Bakersfield native Phillip Thomas as the school's second CFPA winner. Carr was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the 2nd round of the 2014 NFL Draft. On May 16th, 2014, he was assigned his requested number of 4. On May 21, he was signed to a 4-year, $5.37 million contract with a $2.2 million signing bonus. OOn November 20, 2014 Carr won his first NFL game by leading the previously winless Raiders to a 24-20 upset win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders trailed the Chiefs 20-17 early in the 4th quarter, but Carr led them on an 80 yard drive that lasted just over 7 minutes. The 4th quarter comeback ended with Carr throwing a game winning touchdown that put them up 24-20 with just under 1:40 to play. The Raiders would go on to get their first victory of the season. On December 7th, Carr led the Raiders to a 24-13 victory over the visiting San Francisco 49ers. Carr posted a 140.2 rating, the highest for a Raiders quarterback since 2001.  6'5" 200 lb.
Blake Barnett was a football whiz kid in high school.
He was offered a scholarship to many schools, including Notre
Dame, UCLA and USC. But the only campus he visited was Alabama.
Then in 2014 he decided to go there. Let me repeat, he actually
saw what ALABAMA LOOKS LIKE and he decided to attend anyway. Well
what do you know? Apparently Alabama's Crimson Tide is a football
powerhouse. Probably because playing football is a good way to try to
get the hell out of Alabama.As a sophomore at Corona Santiago (Calif.) High, Barnett mostly served as a backup. He began drawing national attention when, in the opening game of his junior season, Barnett accounted for 381 yards and six touchdowns against Newhall Hart (Calif.) High, which is quarterbacked by four-star Arizona State commit Brady White. “That was the really changing factor in my recruiting process,” Barnett said of the game against Hart.  6'4" (1.93m)
220 lb. (99kg) Marcus Mariota (born 1993) is an
American football quarterback for the University of Oregon Ducks, and
the 2014 Heisman Trophy winner.
After his senior season, he was rated the No. 2 recruiting prospect in the state of Hawaii and No. 12 dual-threat quarterback in the nation by Rivals.com. He was recruited by Oregon, Hawaii, Memphis, Utah, Oregon State, Washington, Arizona, Notre Dame, UCLA and USC but was only offered a scholarship by Memphis and Oregon. |

| DEREK CARR FOOTBALL WORKOUT |

People say there
is nothing worth looking at in Fresno, California, but
college football star Derek Carr proved them wrong when
he was going to Fresno State. Here he is shown running
around shirtless during football practice with his
buddies. They are playing something called shirts
vs. skins where one team wears shirts and the other does
not? Why can't they all be shirtless and just wear
little colored hats or something? I always hated playing shirts vs. skins in junior high school. It was a great way to humiliate skinny kids like me during gym class. |
