Todd McShay claims Jalen Carter has Character Issues

Has anyone ever heard anything about these so called “character issues” Carter has? I haven’t and it seems way out of left field.

It is out of left field.

I've heard comment that he doesn't like school.
But Jordan Davis missed practices for class assignments and missed the sugar bowl for grades/credits. I don't remember a pre-draft analyst saying anything about his character because of academics.

I've heard he's abusive to QBs. TIFWIW.

Carter showed good character by not suplexing Jayden Daniels. If that was me, I would have looked at it as an opportunity.

I think it stems from the one single solitary incident where he started some bullshite with Mizzou players before the game this year and a punch got thrown. That’s all I’ve ever seen from him.

McShay sounds like he’s having ‘health issues’ again

Emerson was asked about this in his mailbag this week, and this was his response:

quote:

Character is a loaded word that probably shouldn’t be thrown around lightly, and there isn’t information available to justify attaching that to Carter. Is he on the quiet side? Yes. And sometimes that can be mistaken for not having enough drive. The results on the field this year show otherwise, especially Carter returning three weeks after spraining his MCL. There was the incident before the Missouri game, which Smart called Carter out for, but when you say “character” concerns that’s a broad term that people usually take to mean more than just getting into it with opposing players. You’ve also seen teammates like Ryland Goede and Jackson Meeks come out and defend Carter.

I went to Dane Brugler, The Athletic’s draft expert, and he said the only maturity concerns he’s heard about Carter from scouts are along the lines of “needs to learn how to be a pro.” But not along the lines of a problem or anything that would make teams avoid Carter. All the feedback Brugler is getting is Carter is still a top-5 guy.


Basically, extremely talented college player may have to work a little harder in the NFL. News at 11.

Sounds like JC is a 10000000 times more talented version of me. I used to be pretty chill and my teammates would get all loud and fired up. I was fired up inside but didn’t see the point in yelling and screaming and wasting energy. All that talking and fake toughness just makes it funny when you get out on your arse.

Radi was just on 92.9 and didn't really deny it. Said it was similar to George Pickens in a way. Not enough there to warrant dropping in draft was his take though. Nothing serious like crimes or anything

If a writer is going to do something like this then have the guts to explain what he is talking about.

Pickens didn’t start that fight at GT but he finished it.
Pickens did spray a Tennessee player with a water bottle when he got tackled on the Georgia sideline.
He was a horrible student wasn’t he? but come on he was there to play football.
Did he have actual disciplinary problems? I don’t recall.

Josh Pate's take on the "character issue" was pretty spot on...


These guys, especially in the trenches, need to have some "character issues" because at the end of the day their job is to physically dominate and mentally own the guy in front of them. What regular society would view as "character issues" are actually the exact traits a CFB/NFL organization would be looking for in their players.


You can be rough around the edges and a little crazy, without being an outright criminal and general POS. Pickens is a great example of that.

Josh Pate said that he really only jawed at a player in warm up and that he doesn't have perfect attendance in class.

A littler different than Pickens IMO and obviously not what people think when they hear the words "character issues" ie. violent/abusive off the field or in the locker room
