FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Fresno loves Derek Carr, and now, thanks to local muralist Omar "Super" Huerta, the Raiders quarterback is forever painted in Fresno's history - literally.

The mural is painted next to the Raiders and Sanger High School legend Tom Flores just south of Blackstone and Belmont avenues in central Fresno.

"Super" is the man behind the popular Selena mural in southeast Fresno, and was featured by Action News in December for his goal to paint one hundred murals to improve parts of Fresno.

He started the former Fresno State quarterback Thursday night, saying "the Raiders posted a picture of my Tom Flores so I had to come out here and paint a player. I have the coach so now I needed to put a player out here."
