David Duke Carr (born July 21, 1979 in Bakersfield, California) is an American football quarterback for the New York Giants of the National Football League. He was originally drafted by the Houston Texans first overall in the 2002 NFL Draft. He played college football at Fresno State.
Carr spent five seasons as the Texans' starting quarterback, but was later released from the team after the 2006 season. He played for the Carolina Panthers in 2007 before being released the following offseason.
David Carr is the drummer for the Christian rock band Third Day. He was born David Ronald Carr, on November 15 1974.
He first started playing the drums when he was eleven. He became a Christian when he was fifteen, and decided that he wanted to be able to serve God in some way though his drumming. He met Mac Powell and Mark Lee when he was nineteen, at his church's youth group. Later on when Powell and Lee were looking for a drum player, he filled the spot.
David currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife and two sons.
David Carr (November 1933 - August 31, 1959) was a sailor from Reddish, Manchester. He died at a relatively young age owing to multiple complications that were at the time inexplicable to his doctors at the Manchester Royal Infirmary. In 1990, more than three decades after his death, stored tissue samples from his body were tested positive for HIV. Given the date of his death, he was suspected to have been the first victim of AIDS in the West. The case gained wide coverage when the Sunday Express printed an exposé that revealed Carr's identity to the public.
However, further tests were carried out in the mid-1990s by the eminent American scientist Dr David Ho, who found that Carr's tissue samples had been contaminated and who thus disproved the earlier AIDS diagnosis. Carr's case is extensively documented in Edward Hooper's massive work on the history of AIDS, The River.
