The University of Georgia held its NFL Pro Day on Wednesday, and many scouts were looking forward to how defensive tackle Jalen Carter performed.
However, reports from Athens show Carter not having his best outing.
An ESPN report said Carter’s Pro Day couldn’t have gone worse as he weighed in nine pounds heavier at 323 compared to his 314-pound weigh-in at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

Also, Carter opted to only do positional workouts for the coaches, scouts and media present instead of doing the full workout, which would include the 40-yard dash, cone drills and more.
But Carter wasn’t able to finish the full positional drill workout as he claimed he was cramping and ESPN noticed he was breathing quite heavily.

This is the first time during the NFL Draft process that Carter worked out after only going through interviews and measurables at the combine. Some of that has to do with his off the field trouble that he recently found himself in.
He was arrested for his alleged role in a Jan. 15 car crash that killed teammate Devin Willock, an offensive lineman, and a Georgia staffer, Chandler LeCroy.
