What does the tattoo on Derek Carr’s wrist mean?
The mark on Carr’s right wrist is called a Chi Rho, and it is a Christogram that consists of the two Greek letters that help make the Greek word “Christos” superimposed on each other.
The insignia was first employed as a military standard by Roman Emperor Constantine (or emblem).
The insignia also includes an infinity symbol.
Carr has also stated that it is a memorial to his grandfather, a late valued member of his family.
