Members of the Oakland Raiders offense engaged in a playful Twitter battle late Tuesday night. It was sparked by offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele sharing a tweet in which he noted quarterback Derek Carr's similarity in appearance to the bad kid from the movie "Toy Story."
You've come a long way bro. Proud of you! #Raidernation @derekcarrqb #toystory #swaggyD 😂🙌🏾😁🤘🏾 pic.twitter.com/EzAzGLnldf

The tweet amused running back Latavius Murray and inspired him to find a Carr look-alike of his own:
@KOseven0 why you do @derekcarrqb like that!? 😂😂😂😂 #ToyStoryHead

Carr fired back with celebrity doppelgangers for both Osemele and Murray:
@LataviusM @KOseven0 I tried to be nice with you 2 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/AneMVbdR1j

@LataviusM @KOseven0 wowwwwww ok they are going back up 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/htjSuhc1TZ

Murray eventually claimed to be just an innocent bystander:
Wowwwww @derekcarrqb I was neutral in the situation! @KOseven0

Carr seemed to feel bad about his tweets comparing his teammates to movie characters and deleted them, but eventually re-posted them.
