Fresno State University quarterback David Carr was the first player to ever become a member of the Houston Texans NFL team. The Houston Texans were an expansion team in the early twentieth century with their first season coming in 2002. It just so happened that prolific Fresno State quarterback David Carr entered the NFL draft in the same year that the Houston Texans franchise made their first draft pick. Because the Texans were an expansion team entering their first year of play in the NFL the team was awarded the first overall draft pick in the April 2002 NFL Draft. With the first pick of the first round of the draft the new team selected David Carr out of Fresno State in the hopes that he would be a franchise quarterback that would lead the team to a number of victories and playoff success.
The Houston franchise invested a great deal into David Carr who came highly touted as a mature QB with good size at six feet and three inches with a weight of roughly 215 pounds. It is unusual for a football player from Fresno State University to be selected near the top of the NFL Draft. The Fresno State Bulldogs have a moderately successful football program in which they consistently compete in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). However, despite success in the middle tier WAC the school is not normally associated with having football players drafted by the NFL, let alone be selected as the number one overall pick. David Carr was an exception in terms of football notoriety for the Bulldogs program that otherwise is not normally discussed on the national scale.
David Carr ended up being the quarterback for the Fresno squad in part because he was a local central coast of California native who was able to stay close to home with his college selection. Carr was born in Bakersfield, CA which is about 100 miles south of Fresno in the central coast area of California. In addition to being born in Bakersfield, California David played quarterback at a local Bakersfield high school named Stockdale High School before eventually going on to be the signal caller for the Fresno State University Bulldogs and later the University of Houston Texans.
After putting up impressive passing statistics at Fresno State University David Carr was drafted by the Houston Texans on April 20, 2002. Over the first five years of the existence of the Houston Texans David Carr started 95% percent of the team's games (76 out of 80).
