NFL Draft star Jalen Carter has a safety net should he tumble down the board in Thursday’s first-round, with the Georgia Bulldogs defensive tackle being given assurances by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Heading into the 2023 NFL Draft, Carter was regarded by many as the best college player declared, and he was expected to be drafted close to No1 come the end of April.
The 22-year-old established himself as the most disruptive player on college football’s best defense, helping fire the Bulldogs to a second straight national championship. However, off-field issues including concerns over his maturity, as well as his involvement in a fatal car crash which killed a Bulldogs teammate and staffer, has seen his stocks dramatically fall.
