Daily News | Howie Roseman defends the Eagles’ Jalen Carter draft pick, and the only fair response is to wait and see
When the NFL draft process started this offseason, Howie Roseman didn’t think the Eagles had a shot at landing Jalen Carter with their first pick in the first round.
Carter was subsequently charged with reckless driving and racing. He pleaded no contest and entered into a deal with prosecutors that included 12 months of probation, a $1,000 fine, 80 hours of community service, and completion of a driving course. “We spent a lot of time investigating the incident around it,” Roseman said. “We talked to Jalen about a variety of things. We’re not going to get into what we talk to our players about. That’s not fair. … But at the end of the day, nobody’s hiding from the fact that a tragic event happened.”Carter wasn’t asked about the incident, per se, during a Zoom interview with Philadelphia-area reporters following his selection.
“I don’t think that’s fair,” Roseman said. “You want him to talk about an active investigation at that time? At the end of the day, he just got drafted and you’re putting him on the spot.”
