One of the most popular first-round draft projections for the Detroit Lions is now officially a possibility. Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter has formally entered the 2023 NFL draft.
Carter is the consensus top interior defensive lineman amongst draft analysts. The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Carter helped spearhead the national champion Bulldogs and their suffocating defense. He didn’t post boffo stats (16 tackles, 3 sacks) in 2022 due to a knee injury that cost him two games and an ongoing ankle issue that limited his burst early in the season.
