One of the most polarizing players in the 2023 NFL draft process has been Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter. Certainly on the field, he’s a talented player with incredible versatility, raw power and athletic ability.
But it’s been no secret that he’s been dropping off draft boards because of off-the-field issues. Back in September 2022, Carter was stopped for going 89 mph in a 45 mph zone. The officer started the conversation with Carter by talking to him about how he had previously stopped Georgia players Darnell Washington and Dylan Fairchild earlier. The officer told Carter to send out a text to his teammates to start watching their speed. The officer also mentioned that he didn’t care about Carter’s illegal window tints but he’s “got to start watching his speed as it’s reckless. It’s easy to slow down.”
