Jalen Carter said the Philadelphia Eagles never really asked him about his role in a fatal car crash the night of the Georgia Bulldogs’ celebration of their second straight national title. The Eagles just wanted to learn more about the defensive tackle’s “love of the game.”

“Just getting to know my personality and stuff like that,” Carter said.

The 22-year-old Carter, though, is known these days for much more than his personality and the two national championships he won at Georgia.
