Jalen Carter earned All-Pro honors in his second year and was instrumental in the Eagles advancing to Super Bowl 59. The former Georgia All-American had two tackles in the Eagles 55-23 win. Carter attracted enough attention for the Birds to keep constant pressure on Jayden Daniels while sacking the Commanders’ star three times on the night.
Afterward, a jubilant Carter referenced sending Washington to “Cancun.”
