Eagles DT Jalen Carter goes off on ‘broke’ NFL fans for making fun of his viral crying video

The Philadelphia Eagles, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts and defensive tackle Jalen Carter, have been one of the most formidable teams on the field this season. The Jalen duo has been smashing the rival with their skills, with Hurts smashing the rival defense with his infamous “Tush Push” and Carter giving a nightmare to the opponent’s offense.

Following an undefeated streak of several weeks, the Eagles’ 42-19 defeat to the 49ers was a major letdown. Though the team is still leading the division, Carter got emotional during the match, prompting the NFL community to make fun of him. However, he also didn’t shy away from giving it back to the trolls.

Jalen Carter goes off on ‘broke’ NFL fans

Especially for rookies adjusting to the league’s intensity, emotions can run high in the NFL’s fiercely competitive landscape. With a 15-point deficit in the third quarter, the Eagles found their game against the 49ers to be somewhat difficult.

A pivotal moment emerged when Jalen Carter, engaged in a heated exchange with the 49ers’ Matt Pryor, was penalized with a personal foul. The foul caused the young star to have an emotional outpouring on the field, and his reaction was visibly shaken with tears. The Philadelphia head coach, Nick Sirianni, wasted no time in offering comfort to the upset rookie.

The defensive star’s emotional display continued off the field when he took to social media to address the incident. His Instagram story revealed his gratitude for the city’s support, using the hashtag #flyeaglesfly.

However, amidst the encouragement, the Philly star also faced detractors and online trolling. Unfazed by the trolling, he responded defiantly, reminding critics of his dedication and commitment. The defensive star asserted he would rather shed tears for a lost game than for financial struggles.

“I’ll rather cry for losing a game then cry that I’m still broke yall get yall life together”

The Eagles’ first-round draft pick has been playing fabulously this season, as he recorded 23 tackles, four sacks, and two forced fumbles. With this incredible performance, he is also currently the favorite to win the title of NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Jalen Carter once avoided jail time for role in fatal crash

The celebration of victory turned into an unexpected tragedy when Jalen Carter found himself entangled in a legal battle following a fatal crash. The incident, occurring after a joyous parade commemorating the team’s national championship win on Jan. 14, claimed the lives of two individuals: Devin Willock, the NFL star’s fellow teammate, and Chandler LeCroy, a recruiting analyst, via Bleacher Report.

Upon returning to Athens-Clarke County, the flopping star voluntarily surrendered to the police and faced warrants accusing him of racing his Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk against a Ford Expedition operated by LeCroy. Reports indicated that both vehicles were speeding and recklessly maneuvering into oncoming traffic.

The defensive player underwent legal proceedings resulting in a sentence of 12 months of probation, accompanied by a $1,000 fine, 80 hours of community service, and the completion of a state-approved defensive driving course. While no incarceration was mandated, he also avoided additional charges linked to the crash.

Carter’s lawyer, Kim Stephens, shed light on key points in defense of his client’s innocence. Stephens confirmed that the then-Draft prospect was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the incident, did not leave the accident scene without permission, and was not responsible for causing the crash.

Additionally, the lawyer expressed Carter’s deep sadness over the loss of his friends and his continued prayers for the grieving families, as well as for the healing of the injured.
