Q: Some mockdrafts done for a sports website has you going to Buffalo. What are your thoughts on that?
A: David Carr: I mostly followed QBs when I was younger so I didn’t really have a favorite team. I just liked watching good players. I wouldn’t mind playing for Buffalo. They have a good team and good players. The weather wouldn’t bother me. But I will play anywhere.
