GIANTS NOTES:<br />
- Carr was the Houston Texans’ first-ever<br />
draft choice in 2002….He was the 12th quarterback<br />
selected Number 1 overall since the<br />
1970 NFL-AFL merger.<br />
- With Eli Manning and Carr, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
are the second team in history to have two<br />
quarterbacks who were selected 1st overall<br />
in their respective drafts on their roster at<br />
the same time. The 2007 Panthers were the<br />
1st team with that distinction with Vinny<br />
Testaverde (1987) and Carr (2002).<br />
- This is Carr’s 2nd stint with the <strong>Giants</strong>. He<br />
was Manning’s backup in 2008 and 2009.<br />

4 times in his 5 seasons with the Texans,<br />

1,351 of 2,264 passes (59.7 percent) for<br />
14,433 yards, 65 touchdowns and 71 interceptions.<br />
His career passer rating is 74.9. He<br />
has been sacked 266 times for 1,558 yards,<br />
including a record 76 for 411 yards in losses<br />

- Carr has produced 4 career 300-yard<br />
passing performances, including a careerhigh<br />
372 vs. Minnesota on Oct. 10, 2004…<br />
He had career-high totals of 54 passes and<br />
39 completions in <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium against<br />
the Jets on Nov. 26, 2006…Carr tied the<br />
NFL single-game record with 22 consecutive<br />
completions vs. Buffalo on Nov. 19. 2006…<br />
