Professional career

In 2002, the expansion Houston Texans chose David Carr with the first pick of the NFL draft. Carr started his first 23 games for the Texans before being hampered by an ankle injury. His first career game was quite memorable as the Texans defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Carr connected for two touchdowns in that game. The team won ice cream as a reward from ownership for the first win in franchise history. The Texans weren't as successful the rest of the year as a poor offensive line failed to protect the rookie Carr, who took every offensive snap and was sacked an NFL record 76 times in the 2002 NFL season.
