Georgia football defensive lineman Jalen Carter was widely considered one of the top players in the 2023 NFL draft, but found himself without a home until the Philadelphia Eagles selected him with the No. 9 overall pick.
Football fans went Twitter to give their take after watching Carter drop to the ninth pick.

It’s just special.
Watching an #NFLDraft knowing that the Georgia players selected beat every single one of the top prospects on the biggest of stages and went on to win multiple National Championships.
Enjoy this feeling, Dawg fans. #GoDawgs

Jalen Carter will drop and become the steal of the draft, by far.

Micah Parsons is still mad at the Tennessee Titans for trading AJ Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles. He's also "sick to my stomach" that the Eagles drafted DT Jalen Carter with the 9th overall pick pic.twitter.com/otCjTKSb7H
