8. Derek Carr, Oakland Raiders

Derek Carr has enjoyed more success as the Raiders quarterback than just about anyone in recent memory, leading the club to its first playoff appearance in 14 seasons during its 12-4 2016 campaign. Though last season was a bit of a setback, a new/old coach in town (Jon Gruden) could see the franchise back in the postseason before the end of the year.

Carr makes our top ten in part because he has experience in a variety of cornhole arenas, such as this video from the NFL that pitted NFL players against each other in “random object cornhole.”

I’m not exactly sure who this video was intended for, but I’m guessing it’s the result of Roger Goodell wanting to clean out the refrigerator at NFL headquarters.

In the video, Carr throws a cup of Jello with pinpoint accuracy directly through the hole. He’s then ruthlessly denied a congratulatory fist bump from host Akbar Gbajabiamila, which surely is the lowest point in his career to date.

Carr’s pinpoint accuracy with an object as flimsy as Jello means beanbags are simply no match for the Raiders’ quarterback. Once the team completes its move to Las Vegas, expect local sportsbooks to be flooded with patrons looking to cash in on Carr’s golden cornhole-tossing arm.
