Jalen Carter gets grilled on NFL Twitter over 'kill the Cowboys' comments -"Dude should be in jail" 

NFL Combine
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter's recent comments about the Dallas Cowboys has many shaking their heads.

The Philadelphia Eagles drafted defensive tackle Jalen Carter in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The rookie may be new to the NFC East, but he is already familiar with the rivalries. So much so that he recently spoke to reporters about his feelings toward the Dallas Cowboys.

While the rookie seems pumped up to face the Eagles' NFC East divisional foe, his choice of words could have been better. Carter told reporters after practice that he is looking to make an impact on the field this season and "kill the Cowboys."

“I’m ready to turn up, make a big impact this season, every game. And I’m ready to kill the Cowboys. Everybody got beef with ‘em, I might as well join the wave.”

While that may not seem like that harsh of a quote, it's the recent allegations against Carter that have many scratching their heads.

When Carter was reporting at the NFL Combine, an arrest warrant was issued for the defensive tackle. He was charged with reckless driving and street racing for his alleged part in a serious accident that occurred just hours after the Georgia Bulldogs celebrated their National Championship.

NFL fans on Twitter suggested that he could have chosen better words to discuss the rivalry with the Dallas Cowboys.

Why did Jalen Carter get arrested?

An arrest warrant was issued for Jalen Carter in March 2023. He was accused of street racing a Ford Expedition that was driven by a Georgia Bulldogs staff member.

The Expedition lost control and crashed, killing a staff member and a Bulldogs teammate, while injuring another staff member and player.

While the initial accident was reported, it wasn't until March that it was revealed that police believed the 22-year-old was racing the vehicle, which they believe, essentially caused the crash.

He was charged with reckless driving and street racing and turned himself in, but was released on a bond of $4,000.

He ended up pleading no contest to the charges and was issued a fine of $1,000, put on probation for 12 months and mandated to complete 80 hours of community service.

He is currently being sued by one of the survivors, Victoria Bowles as well as the family of his late teammate Devin Willock.
