DL Jalen Carter is more than just a football player

Everyone knows how dominant of a player Carter is on the football field. That dominance began at Georgia where he racked up six sacks and 83 total tackles during his three year career. The highlight of his career at Georgia though was the fact that he was one of the biggest reasons why Georgia was able to win back to back National Championships in 2021 and 2022.

Carter's dominance hasn't stopped since arriving in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles as he has already been named the No. 3 defensive linemen in the NFL after just two seasons in the league. This title was given to him after recording a combined 10.5 sacks in his two seasons in Philly.

All of these accomplishments on the field will make Carter remembered forever both by Georgia and Philadelphia fans. But the work he is doing in his community is far more important and should be the first thing that comes to mind when talking about his legacy.

Carter's career is far from over and it won't be surprising to see him win more Super Bowls and individual accomplishments, but all of that should be an afterthought after the awesome work he is doing to help the kids in his community.
