Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter is back at the NFL combine in Indianapolis hours after he was booked and released from police custody in Athens, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Thursday.
Carter is facing two misdemeanor charges—racing and reckless driving—in connection to a January car crash that killed Bulldogs offensive lineman Devin Willock and football staffer Chandler LeCroy, and injured two others. According to Athens-Clarke County records, the projected No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL draft was booked for the two charges at 11:33 p.m. ET on Wednesday night and was released 16 minutes later after posting his $4,000 bond.
Per Rapoport, he is back at the combine to get his measurements done, finish interviews and take part in other activities. Carter, who was present at the combine for its first two days, was set to meet with the media on Wednesday before the news broke that ACCPD had issued a warrant for his arrest. He did not make an appearance in front of reporters, and an NFL spokesperson said Wednesday morning that Carter was undergoing medical evaluation in Indianapolis and would not be made available at the combine, per Fox’s Ralph Vacchiano.
