On Friday, New Orleans Saints star Derek Carr was named the NFLPA Community MVP for Week 17. The quarterback received the prestige after he and his wife Heather donated holiday meals and Christmas gifts to nine local families. Apart from the gifts, Carr also donated $5000 to each of the nine families.
Derek Carr was later interviewed by NFLPA, during which the quarterback shared his reaction to winning the MVP award. Carr revealed being "shocked" after he found out about the good news. Sharing his reaction to the award, the Saints quarterback said:
"I was shocked when I found out about my nomination for this award. While certainly honored, the reason Heather and I did this was the realization of being able to help people in need, especially during the holidays. I was just doing what I felt the Lord wants us to do in these situations, with what He has provided for us."
