Retired NFL quarterback and Valley native David Carr has joined the content team at GV Wire as a featured football columnist.

Carr is an on-air analyst with NFL Network. He played 11 pro seasons following a standout college career at quarterback with the Fresno State Bulldogs from 1997-2001. Carr was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 NFL draft.

Each Friday beginning in September, Carr will share his insider perspective with a new column.

“I look forward to discussing local collegiate football and bringing insight during the NFL season,” Carr said. “GV Wire brings in-depth reporting to the Central Valley, and as a native, I am thrilled to collaborate on weekly stories.”

Carr Brings ‘Insider Knowledge’

GV Wire Publisher Darius Assemi said the new partnership is a great fit.

“The expertise and insider knowledge David Carr brings to our platform is directly aligned with our mission,” Assemi said.

“Audiences looking for timely, well-informed news and analysis from people they trust already turn to GV Wire,” Assemi continued. “Now, with David Carr joining our roster, fans have a new “go-to” resource for college and pro football coverage.”
