Derek Carr's childhood dream realized as Fresno State retires No. 4

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Derek Carr has a simple goal Saturday evening at Fresno State, when his alma mater retires his jersey No. 4 at Bulldog Stadium.

“Man, I hope I don’t all of a sudden get randomly emotional,” Carr said this week. “I literally dreamed of that since I was this tall.”

Carr put his left hand at his waist. His football dreams, though, were much higher when he was younger.

“Every time I walked in that stadium for my brother’s games, I would tell my dad, ‘Yeah, they’re going to put Dave’s [number] up there, but they’re going to put mine too.
