NFL star Derek Carr’s ‘insane’ body Transformation, ‘life-changing’ diet inspired by Kobe Bryant
Derek Carr, The famous 32-years old quarterback from the New Orleans Saints, became really popular on the internet last week. A picture showed that he had more muscles during the team’s practice. Carr is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 210 pounds.
It looks like Carr, who got a four-year contract for $150 million with the Saints in March after being with the Raiders for nine years, has gotten bigger for the 2023 season. In 2022, Carr talked to GQ magazine and shared about his food.
He mentioned that he has three meals a day, and each plate has three parts: one part with protein, one with grains, and one with fruits and vegetables. He also talked about his wife’s pasta and chicken nuggets, which actually have potatoes inside. Their kids believe they are eating chicken nuggets and french fries.
Carr’s diet changed as the 32-year-old realized eating anything he wanted to like he was younger “takes a toll on your body.”
Then, Carr credited the late great Kobe Bryant for his attention to detail in maintaining healthy eating habits.
“I was watching a Kobe Bryant interview. Kobe is my favorite athlete of all time,” Carr said.
“But this one time they asked him “What would you tell your 18-year-old self if you could go back and tell him anything.” and he goes “I would tell him to stretch.”
“I thought that was interesting.”
The four-time Pro Bowler then added that Bryant’s words made him take care of his body. And Carr now feels 10 years younger as a result. In an interview with The Athletic’s Vic Tafur, Carr also spoke on implementing a myofascial stretch routine, which he does once a week to help lessen pain connected with muscle dysfunction or stiffness.
He said: “For a lot of athletes, the posterior chain, especially for a quarterback, a rotational athlete or a pitcher rotation, you gotta do some things to counter that and to keep yourself balanced, especially if you’re going to rotate and then go play golf afterward.
“And, so, I have a stretch class that I do once a week, and that’s one thing that Kobe taught me.
“He said ‘stretch.’”
During the NFL 2022 season, he was benched for the last two games resulting in his Raiders career coming to an end after nine seasons as a starter. He earned four Pro Bowls with the Raiders. Now he wiil be gearing up to lead the Saints, who are coming off a 7-10 season under the tutelage of head coach Dennis Allen.
