Philadelphia Eagles take a gamble on Jalen Carter as the embattled Georgia star is finally selected as the No. 9 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, after he was charged for reckless driving in fatal crash
Embattled Georgia star Jalen Carter was finally selected by the Philadelphia Eagles as the No. 9 overall pick in the 2023 Draft, almost two months after the defensive tackle was charged for reckless driving.
Carter, 21, entered into a plea bargain after he was booked with reckless driving and racing on March 1 in relation to the car accident that claimed the lives of his teammate Devin Willock and Bulldogs staffer Chandler LeCroy.
