Notes: Top draft DT Jalen Carter ‘struggles’ at Georgia pro day

Georgia defensive Jalen Carter has been hailed as one of, if not the best player in the 2023 NFL Draft class. A dominating player at Georgia, Carter, by most accounts, has been the best player in Athens for the last two seasons. Several would argue even better than last year’s No. 1 overall pick Travon Walker.

But Carter is in the middle of a difficult situation off the field and it appears to potentially be impacting his performance on the field as well.

On March 1, while at the NFL Combine, an arrest warrant was issued for Carter for his role in an alleged car racing incident that resulted in a fatal car crash.
