Have you started your Christmas shopping? How about a Derek Carr bobblehead?
The Derek Carr gift collection is growing.
Carr is getting a limited-release bobblehead in his Fresno State football uniform, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled Thursday. The $40 bobblehead is produced by Forever Collectibles and is ready to be shipped.
Last season, Carr led the Oakland Raiders to their first playoff berth since 2002. He starred at Fresno State where he was named Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year in 2012 and 2013.
“Given Carr’s success with the Raiders and popularity with Bulldog fans, we’re excited to release this bobblehead,” said Phil Sklar, co-founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. “Derek has become one of the most popular quarterbacks in the NFL, and we thought a bobblehead featuring Derek in his college uniform would be a great collectible for all of his fans.”
At Fresno State, he threw for 12,843 passing yards and 113 touchdowns. Carr was selected by the Raiders in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft with the 36th overall pick. He was named to the Pro Bowl in two of his first three seasons.
Earlier this year, McFarlane Toys announced it’s releasing a Carr action figure in November. The company is taking pre-orders.
Carr is the second former Bulldog star to get a Hall of Fame bobblehead in a Fresno State uniform. Last week, it was announced that an Aaron Judge limited-release bobblehead in his Bulldog uniform is coming out, as well as a 3-foot-tall bobblehead.
