Pros 

• Possesses an ultra-athletic frame for an interior lineman that seems to not have an ounce of fat on him for his size. 

• He possesses one of the fastest and most explosive get-offs I have ever seen from a defensive lineman since Aaron Donald.

 

• He possesses legit speed for a man his size and very few quarterbacks can outrun him once he gets a head of steam.

• Elite flexibility for an interior defensive lineman which has allowed him to squeeze cracks in the line with relative ease.

• Exceptional arm length for his size and can overwhelm offensive lineman quickly that can't get into his pads. 

• He possesses freakish strength in both his upper and lower halves of his body and has quite a few highlights of him literally throwing 350 lbs. guards and tackles with his bull rush. 

• He can read offensive line movements exceptionally well and is a menace as a gap shooter. 

• Pads stay low consistently and rarely finds himself giving up ground at the snap.

• He can play in any defensive front and line up at any defensive position, making him a fit for any NFL team.

• He's very gifted with using his hands when countering offensive lineman and is a savant at breaking away from grips. 

​

• He never stops playing on the field and has a motor burns like the core of a star.

Cons

• Seems to win most of his battles with his elite strength and athleticism which as many NFL fans know will only get you so far in the pros. 

• He doesn't have that signature game under his belt where he just takes over, although that can be attributed more to usage rate and offensive game plan around stopping him first rather than a lack of play.

• Georgia is an immensely talented team on defense in all areas and while he's the clear cut MVP of the team, you can't say he's done much by himself. 

• I would like to see more elusive maneuvers to his game like spins and stutter steps to make him a complete package in their interior. 

Overview

Don't let the lack of production fool you about Jalen Carter out of Georgia, he's beast in the middle of the best defense in college football who not only sets the tone for the game in the trenches but allows his fellow defenders to make plays of their own. Georgia has taken a step back a little bit this year as a program but through shear will and dominance Jalen Carter has kept this defense immensely formidable in the trenches and will be a force to reckoned with in the NFL. His athletic profile shows a player that is more monster than man and with the right NFL coach honing his ability, he could be a HOF level player early in his career.
