ATHENS — NFL Draft talk has centered largely around two storylines: the quarterbacks, and Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter.

How low might the Bulldogs’ dominant defender go in the wake of his offseason issues?

Georgia defensive tackle and former Carter roommate Nazir Stackhouse provided some insight when meeting with the media following the Bulldogs’ practice on Tuesday.

“Any team that passes up on Jalen, he’s just going to prove them different and prove them wrong,” said Stackhouse, who was alongside Carter in the starting lineup all season long.

“Wherever he goes, he’s going to go out there and he’s going to be Jalen Carter like he was at the University of Georgia.”

Carter was a one-man wrecking machine for the Bulldogs’ the past two seasons, with former UGA defensive tackles and 2022 first-round picks Jordan Davis and Devonte Wyatt both saying Carter was better then them.
