Derek Carr getting in sync with new offensive coordinator, receivers early in Training Camp

The relationship Lombardi is forming with his quarterback has been growing exponentially since OTAs and minicamp, citing Carr’s work ethic and attention to detail as a couple of things that impress him.

“His willingness to work hard, accept anything and do whatever necessary to help the team win,” Lombardi said. “I think that’s been the case for not only him, but most of the guys in the offense. Showing up early, staying late, spending some extra time with some extra people. Whether it’s helping the running backs or the receivers, that’s a quarterback’s role. Not only Derek does that, but Jarrett Stidham, Nick Mullens and even Chase Garbers, they’ve bought into being that role as a quarterback.”
