Derek Carr is recovering from a broken fibula, which cut a tremendous season short and left the Raiders without their star quarterback for the team’s first playoff game since 2002.
Carr may be in injury rehab, but that didn’t keep his teammate Kelechi Osemele from roasting him on Twitter by comparing him to the mean kid from “Toy Story.”
You've come a long way bro. Proud of you! #Raidernation @derekcarrqb #toystory #swaggyD πππΎππ€πΎ pic.twitter.com/EzAzGLnldf

This is a hilarious tweet and you have to admit that it’s a bit terrifying how close the images are. Raiders running back Latavius Murray found the picture funny and got himself involved in the Twitter roasting session.
@KOseven0 why you do @derekcarrqb like that!? ππππ #ToyStoryHead

Carr fired back at Osemele and Murray by comparing Osemele to Vine star Terio and Murray to Wesley Snipes character in Blade.

First off, Murray should be honored. Blade is great and Wesley Snipes is a legend, so this is in no way an insult. Osemele should probably take exception at Carr comparing him to Terio, though.
I love when we get to see a glimpse at teammates poking fun at each other on Twitter or releasing what might have been inside jokes to the world, because it peels back the curtain that gets put up and makes football players seem a little more human and much funnier than what we’re used to seeing on the field and in press conferences.
