Aidan O'Connell Switches Jersey Number to Honor Derek Carr

The Raiders quarterback changes from No. 4 to No. 12, citing respect for the former franchise leader.

O'Connell felt wearing No. 4 was disrespectful to Carr, a longtime Raiders quarterback.
Carr set franchise records in passing yards and touchdowns during his nine seasons with the team.
O'Connell wore No. 4 during his rookie year but switched to No. 12 for the upcoming season.
The decision was influenced by O'Connell's desire to honor Carr's legacy with the Raiders.
O'Connell will compete with Gardner Minshew for the starting quarterback position in 2024.
