Derek Carr shows with cool videos what it’s like to catch NFL pass

Most of us have no idea what it’s like to catch a pass from an NFL quarterback, though one would assume it’s fairly terrifying and exhilarating.

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had someone film a few videos that he posted on Instagram, and while it doesn’t completely replicate the experience, it’s really fun to see an NFL quarterback’s passes from that angle. Note that Carr is so accurate that he’s able to hit the camera on one of the three:

The videos are pretty mesmerizing. You get an idea not only how hard NFL quarterbacks throw the ball but also the accuracy that they have. Remember that even the worst quarterback in the NFL is one of about 80 or 90 men in the world who is good enough to hold that job.

If nothing else it was a fun use of social media by Carr. He appears to be throwing the ball pretty well these days.
