Will Jalen Carter's Pro Day Effect his Draft Stock?

After a less-than-stellar Pro-Day, what does the future hold for Jalen Carter?

A few months ago, Jalen Carter was predicted to be the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Flash forward to the present day, and the star defensive tackle's fate on draft night could not be any less clear. 

While Chicago trading the first draft to a Panther's team that seems keen on selecting a quarterback certainly put Carter's stock in limbo. His legal troubles and involvement in January's tragedy have also raised numerous question marks about the talented defensive lineman, making his landing spot in April unclear. 

Carter had an opportunity to remind scouts why he was is so highly regarded as a football player in Georgia's Pro Day this Wednesday, but struggled when participating in drills and did not seem like himself. The Apopka, Florida native weighed in nearly 10 pounds heavier than he did at the combine and was visibly fatigued during drills. While his visible struggles on Pro Day will not likely tank his stock, they certainly have not done it favors.

Though, March of 2023 has been a disastrous month for Carter and has raised numerous red flags that have done no favors to his draft stock. The former Bulldogs defensive lineman still undoubtedly possesses a plethora of skills that make him a generational talent. The question now is, which team is willing to take their chance on him come April?
