The 2023 NFL draft is quickly approaching, which means teams are wrapping up their “top-30” visits with prospects. Next up on the visit docket for the Detroit Lions is a big name.
Georgia DT Jalen Carter will be in Allen Park on Monday for his official meeting with the Lions. It’s a prominent visitor for the Lions.
Carter is almost universally considered one of the five most talented players in the entire draft class. But an unsavory draft process that includes an arrest for street racing in relation to a fatal accident, as well as showing up overweight and badly out of shape at his pro day, has cast some real doubt about when Carter will be drafted.
The visit should help the Lions ascertain if Carter is the right fit for them with the No. 6 overall pick–if he’s even still on the board at that slot.
