Lions 'Felt Better About' Jalen Carter After Visit

Apr 20, 2023 2:30 PM

The Detroit Lions hosted Jalen Carter for a visit on Monday.

"He came in and he did a nice job. Again, it's always case by case. He came in, we enjoyed our time with him, he did a nice job," general manager Brad Holmes said of Carter's recent visit. "I'll say even after he left his visit, I felt better about him."

The Lions own the No. 6 and No. 18 overall picks.

Carter's draft status has been clouded after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and racing last month in connection with a fatal crash in January. He was sentenced to 12 months of probation, a $1,000 fine and 80 hours of community service and will attend a state-approved defensive driving course. His attorney, Kim Stephens, said that by resolving the matter, the state of Georgia is forever barred from bringing additional charges against Carter.
