UGA DT Carter struggles at pro day … Just another quick update on the Georgia pro day which is now underway. Star UGA DT Jalen Carter reportedly really struggled at today’s workout. He showed up almost ten pounds heavier than at the combine and then was not able to complete the positional drills because of cramping. And that was after he chose not to run the 40 or participate in the other physical tests. No word on whether he plans to run at a private workout closer to the draft, but none of this can be reassuring to NFL teams wondering where to take him in this year’s draft. Carter, of course, was very much in the discussion to be the top-rated prospect overall this year, but his status was thrown for a loop when he was arrested and charged with a couple of driving offences stemming from an accident in which a couple of people were killed.
From earlier today: There are just three GMs in attendance at the Georgia pro day earlier today including Omar Khan of the Steelers, who tends to go to them all; Terry Fontenot of the hometown Atlanta Falcons; and Chicago’s Ryan Poles, who is there with a full contingent including head coach Matt Eberfus. Interesting that the Bears, who were in Chicago yesterday at the Northwestern pro day, could be looking at a pair of former Bulldogs for the 9th pick which they now have after trading with Carolina. One is OT Broderick Jones, a rising OL candidate who one would think would be in the discussion along with Northwestern’s Peter Skoronski and Ohio State’s Paris Johnson should OT be the position the Bears look to address at that spot. The other guy of interest to the Bears has to be Carter who was linked to the Bears when they still had the #1 pick overall.
