Derick
Carr,
New
Orleans
Saints

Who
dat?
Why,
it’s

Heather
Carr,
recent
NOLA
transplant
after
her
husband
signed
with
the
Saints
in
2023
following
nine
seasons
with
the
Oakland-turned-Las
Vegas
Raiders.

They
were
students
at
Fresno
State
when
they
met,
Derick
trying
his
darndest
to
get
a
cute
waitress’
attention.

“I
was
just
like ‘Ugh,
I
don’t
want
anything
to
do
with
that,'”
Heather
recalled
to

Fresno’s
ABC
30. “The
typical
football
guy,
right?”

But
when
she
purposely
gave
him
a
wrong
phone
number,
he
came
back
to
the
restaurant
to
give
her
his
digits—and
tell
her
that,
when
she
was
ready,
he’d
pick
up
the
phone.
A
few
weeks
later,
she
found
out
Derick
wasn’t
so
typical.

They

tied
the
knot
June
29,
2012.

“Some
days
he
comes
home,
he’s
quiet,
he’s
tired,”
she
reflected
of
her
star
QB. “Just
making
sure
he
always
knows
that
I’m
here
to
encourage
him,
support
him,
do
I
need
to
do
anything
for
you.”

When
it
was
time
to
move
across
the
country,
she
stocked
up
on
Saints
gear
in
all
sizes
for
sons

Dallas
(born
Aug.
5,
2013),

Deker
(March
16,
2016) and

Deakon
(May
16,
2019),
and
daughter

Brooklyn
(Nov.
30,
2020).
