Las Vegas quarterback Derek Carr thinks that if the Raiders sign Colin Kaepernick, his fit in the locker room would be "great." 

Speaking Tuesday after the Raiders' first mandatory minicamp practice, Carr discussed the possibility of having Kaepernick as a teammate, and Carr spoke highly of the free-agent quarterback.

"I’ve known Colin since our days playing in the WAC conference, which is no longer a thing," Carr said when asked about the Raiders holding a tryout for Kaepernick. "I remember our days back then. And just watching him and what he did at college, getting to know him and talking on the phone. I’ve told you guys, I’ve loved my time with him. I think he’s a great guy. He’s been great to be around. I’ve enjoyed being around him, talking with him, competing against him." 

Las Vegas brought in Kaepernick for a workout at the end of May, and the former San Francisco 49er reportedly impressed.
