INDIANAPOLIS — With the news that Jalen Carter left the scene of a fatal crash that resulted in arrest warrants issued Wednesday, the former Georgia standout did not participate in a previously scheduled media session at the NFL scouting combine.
Early Wednesday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Carter left the scene of a fatal crash that killed teammate Devin Willock and recruiting analyst Chandler LeCroy on Jan. 15. Hours later, a throng of reporters were in front of a podium awaiting Carter for a previously scheduled pre-combine availability. A spokesman from the NFL informed reporters that Carter was in medical testing and would not be available to answer questions.
Carter, a defensive lineman, is considered widely the best non-quarterback available in the 2023 NFL draft. He likely will be a top-five pick and could go No. 1 overall.
