Move over basketball trick-shot artists, because Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has his own tricks up his sleeve.

With NFL training camps nearing the finish line, players are getting bored with drills and apparently wanting to have a little bit of fun. That was the case between Raiders QB’s Carr and Connor Cook on Monday.

Carr not only showed off his arm, he did it on the run and flicking off a perfect spiral on a behind-the-back pass. It just so happened to hit Cook right in stride (one-handed catch, too!) for what would’ve been at least a first down.

The Raiders were impressed enough to capture it for their Vine account.

So, take that all of you throwing a perfectly round ball off backboards from crazy heights or hitting nothing but net from the Grand Canyon (has that actually happened yet?).

We’re pretty sure even the craziest of improvisors at QB, namely NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre, would be impressed with this throw.
