“I think he’d be great,” Carr said after the Raiders’ first mandatory minicamp practice on Tuesday.
“I don’t want to speak for everybody in that kind of sense,” he said. “I don’t want someone mad at me for saying, ‘I think it would be great,’ but I know him and I would get along great.”

“I know we have in the past, and I think we would again. I think for the most part, I think he’d get along great with our guys.”
Carr and Kaepernick shared the field in college when the pair played in the Western Athletic Conference, according to a report.
Kaepernick joined a Raiders workout on May 25, but Carr did not meet with him, he said.
“I think they did it in the afternoon … and I was already on the golf course with my two older boys,” Carr said.
Kaepernick is adamant about returning to the NFL and capturing a Super Bowl title. He came close in 2013, when he led the San Francisco 49ers to the big game but lost to the Baltimore Ravens.
“You had those dreams from when you were a kid,” Kaepernick said in April. “‘I’m [going to] be an NFL player, and I’m going to win a Super Bowl.’ And for me, I have unfinished business on that front. I have been to the Super Bowl. We were one play away. Well, I need to finish that.”

“Yeah, if I have to come in as a backup, that’s fine. But that’s not where I’m staying. And when I prove that I’m a starter, I want to be able to step on the field as such,” he said.
