Jalen Carter had a dominant start to his rookie season before fading down the stretch, and Brandon Graham believes his best is yet to come.
While talking to the media after a recent Eagles practice, Graham again vouched for the former Georgia All-American, saying that “he can be a terror” in the NFL.
BG on Jalen Carter: "He can be a terror in this league." Also loves what he's seen from Jalyx Hunt and Jordan Davis. #Eagles

During the first half of the 2023 season, Carter played 49% of the defensive snaps (despite missing Week 6 against the New York Jets with an injury), second among Eagles defensive tackles behind only Fletcher Cox.
Carter finished his rookie year with 6.0 sacks, 33 tackles, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery (which he returned for a touchdown) in 16 regular-season games.
Through the first nine weeks of 2023, Carter generated 29 pressures (tied for eighth in the league among interior defensive linemen), according to Pro Football Focus, including four sacks and 20 hurries.
