Can’t you just see it coming? While this is going to sound incredibly crass, is there any doubt that most decision-makers in the NFL universe are going to end up justifying a way to draft Jalen Carter, no matter what the proceeding few weeks look like?
Can’t you just hear it? Sorry to be impatient, but can we hurry this up a bit? The part about the eventual outcome of the legal process and the series of events that led to his operating a speeding car after hours resulting in an alleged road race, a pair of deceased human beings and a police report that alleges Carter lied to authorities about it?
Carter, in a statement released from the combine Wednesday, denied all of this, of course, and said he’ll be fully exonerated when the truth is revealed. He was back at the NFL scouting combine Thursday in Indianapolis after spending all of 16 minutes between being booked and released from police custody in Athens, Ga.
