Fans immediately took to Twitter to troll the Pro-Bowl quarterback, with one fan asking, “What died on Derek Carr’s head?”

Another person tweeted, “Derek Carr with the worst pick in the draft already That haircut lol.”

The NFL on CBS asked fans to describe Carr’s new hairstyle, and one fan replied that it was “the result of a bad weekend in Vegas.”

Carr’s appearance at the 2022 NFL Draft came hours after Raiders owner Mark Davis made headlines for his comments about another quarterback.

During an episode of “Race in America: A Candid Conversation,” Davis said he would welcome former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to Las Vegas “with open arms.”

The Raiders currently have Nick Mullens and Garrett Gilbert backing up Carr.
