Ex-Georgia star and potential top-five NFL Draft pick Jalen Carter was present at the scene of a fatal crash that killed teammate Devin Willock and Bulldogs football staffer Chandler LeCroy earlier this year, according to the AJC. Per the report, Carter initially told police he was more than a mile away from the accident when it happened, but later said he was close enough to the car to see its taillights.

According to police documents reviewed by the AJC, Carter left the scene of the accident before emergency personnel and officers arrived before returning 90 minutes later. He then told police he was traveling alongside the other car, whose speedometer stuck on impact at 83 mph — double the speed limit, per the AJC. Athens police questioned Carter about the possibility he was racing the other car, but the player denied his involvement.

Athens police said "excessive speed" was a contributing factor in the fatal crash after reconstructing the accident scene. At the time, the accident was labeled a single-car crash. but did not mention the possibility of another car involved.

Emily Proud is joined by Carl Reed and Bud Elliott to discuss the latest on Jalen Carter and what Kirby Smart, the Georgia Bulldogs, and NFL teams need to do moving forward.
