Indianapolis — Jalen Carter, the University of Georgia defensive tackle expected by many to be a top-five pick in the upcoming NFL draft, was supposed to speak to the media at the league's scouting combine on Wednesday. Instead, news broke minutes before he was scheduled to take the podium that an arrest warrant has been issued for his role in a fatal car accident, which killed former teammate Devin Willock and University of Georgia recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy.
The arrest warrant for Carter for misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and racing was issued by the Athens-Clarke County police.
