Maybe he is going to go back and play another year to change his current impression and enter the draft next year. Can he do that?
No he’s hired Drew Rosenhaus as his agent so no going back.

Jalen Carter showed up apparently out of shape for his Pro Day and didn’t work out. This guy is burning up millions. Most are thinking he’ll drop to mid-first round where someone will gamble.

What rumour?

It was on the NFL Network for all to see.

All that partying & then the late night eating when you get home afterwards will put weight on a person really quick. Plus the fact he could get the big head thinking "I'm Jalen Carter, I'm gonna be a top 5 pick" regardless.

Do you know what else can cause weight gain?

Depression and anxiety when facing a stressful situation like a court date.

Scouts are going to go by his tape. He’s still a top 3 player, talent-wise, and these aren’t major red flags for a 20 year old.
I seriously doubt he goes outside top 10.

If the "hype" on Carter is real....that he may be the best D-line prospect of the last decade....then there is no way he is going to fall past the middle of the 1st round.

Think of a team like the Eagles at #10. He gets to come into one of the most talented D-Lines in the NFL, a favorite in the NFC, and have little pressure on him as a rookie.

Carter and Jordan Davis as your DTs.....wow

If he is a bust, or ends up having off field issues...the Eagles are still going to be a good team, and still have a 2nd first round pick to use! There are very few scenarios better set up that Carter to the Eagles.

The only think that will screw it up for him is if the Lions take him at #6!...but even then, not a bad situation to go to a fringe playoff team

He was 9lbs overweight and visibly out of shape and could finish the positional drills. ESPN reported it yesterday.

This kid is going to mess around and be the 15th pick right when we have the #3 pick.

Fitting.

He was gassed in the bowl game in Atlanta. I’m not as impressed by him like many other fans are. He reminds me of Ryan Sims. All hype. His production was also not impressive this year

If it was just partying at a strip club, maybe not a "major" red flag...If it was just speeding, maybe not a "major" red flag...If it was just weaving in and out of traffic and racing, maybe not a "major" red flag...but when you add them all up and then include leaving the scene of an accident, where your teammates are seriously injured/dying and lying to police...Yes, "major" red flags.

Nkimdiche vibes. Pass
This dude has more talent in his pinky then Nkemdiche does total. Let's also remember that Carter was touted as at top 3 pick, and Robert never was considered that. He was drafted in the bottom of the first round after he fell out of the teens. (29th)

The year before being drafted nkemdiche was considered a top 10 pick
Although his stats were not good either, like Carter
