          Oakland Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr started every game this season and produced well. Here are some key numbers he put up in his first NFL season:

          • He has thrown the second-most completions (348) by a rookie in NFL history, passing Andrew Luck (339).

          • Carr finished the season with 3,270 passing yards, ranking 10th all time among rookie quarterbacks.

          • Carr threw 21 touchdowns, tied for the fifth most by an NFL rookie. Carr was the fourth rookie to finish a season with at least 20 touchdown passes and 12 or fewer interceptions (Russell Wilson, Robert Griffin III and Dan Marino).

          • Carr was the 14th quarterback since the NFL expanded to a 16-game season in 1978 to start every game in his rookie campaign.
