Jalen Carter declines visits to NFL teams ahead of Draft to suggest decision made

Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter is declining visits with franchises selecting outside the top 10 in this month’s 2023 NFL Draft as his agent believes he will be one of the first names off the board.

On Monday, Carter reportedly met with the Chicago Bears - who have the ninth pick after they completed a blockbuster trade with the quarterback-needy Carolina Panthers to move down from the first overall selection. It was the prospect’s second visit after he visited the Philadelphia Eagles, who sit 10th.

Carter - considered by many to be the best player in the class - has been invited to the NFL Draft, which is set to be held in Kansas City this year and he plans to attend. However, multiple NFL teams have reportedly taken Carter off their draft board entirely.
