Former NFL quarterback Derek Carr is returning to the college game. However, he remains retired with the 2026 NFL season looming, and he is now taking a coaching role with the Bruins. Notably, that NFL Network report pointed out the quarterback "doesn't seem to be actively chasing a return to the NFL." It could also be the first step toward a lengthy coaching career, especially if he helps Nico Iamaleava take another step for UCLA. That Carr is working with the quarterbacks comes as no surprise given his own NFL career.
