Eagles rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter has been a stud so far on the field for Philadelphia, and now he’s proving to be pretty funny off the field.

In case you missed it, Carter had an epic flop during the Eagles’ win over the Dolphins on Sunday night. He and Miami offensive tackle Austin Jackson got tangled up after a play late in the second quarter, and Carter fell to the ground with a move that should be nominated for all the acting awards.

Following the game, Carter said his flop was inspired by NBA great LeBron James, who has been known to do something very similar to this during games. 

This was a pretty good line from the rookie: 

Nice try, rookie.
