He was involved in it, he was speeding and racing his friend, and very likely was drunk too.
On January 15, 2023, at approximately 2:45 a.m., a serious car crash occurred resulting in the deaths of University of Georgia staff member Chandler LeCroy and football player Devin Willock. The collision, which occurred in East Athens after the Bulldogs had been celebrating their second consecutive national championship earlier in the evening, was believed by police to have occurred as a result of street racing involving LeCroy, who was driving a 2021 Ford Expedition, and Carter, who was driving a 2021 Jeep Trackhawk. LeCroy, whose blood alcohol content was 0.197, more than twice the legal limit at the time of the crash, veered off the road after failing to make a proper turn at a high speed. She struck at least two utility poles, downing one of them, and trees before the car came to a stop against the door of an apartment building, blocking the resident inside until the wreckage could be cleared away. Willock, who was not wearing his seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle. Two other passengers were injured. It was estimated that both cars reached speeds of more than 100 miles per hour. LeCroy’s speedometer indicated she had been traveling at 83 miles per hour when it broke during the crash.[15][16][17] Carter had previously been cited for traffic violations three times during the fall semester, twice by campus authorities and once by Athens police for traveling at 89 miles per hour in a 45 miles per hour zone.[18]
I think it is you who needs to get in touch with reality. Because you are here acting like we were the ONLY team in the NFL to pass on Carter due to his off the field issues. The man went 9th overall, and was lucky his slide stopped there. That means 8 other teams passed on him, what do YOU know about a team and culture that those other 8 teams don’t? Why are YOU not a NFL GM?
Oh, he was simply street racing, so that’s ok, huh? Ruggs was simply speeding, which is also all over the place, so I guess that’s ok too huh? The FACT that TWO people died because he was street racing doesn’t mean anything, the FACT that a woman and her dog DIED because Ruggs was speeding, doesn’t mean anything either right? Drinking and driving is all over the place too, every day, all over the world, people are drinking and driving, and the majority of those people end up just fine, they don’t kill people, so that makes it ok correct?
I NEVER, EVER said that Carter was a “outliner” in anyway shape or form. But the FACT that he was street racing and probably drunk, and then, and THEN shows up to his combine, his job interview where MILLIONS of dollars are at stake, out of shape, showed he didn’t make good judgements. Do YOU show up to job interviews unprepared, looking like a mess? I doubt it.
Micah is accused of doing some hazing, and stealing clothes, that is NOT way worse. Hill fell to the 5th round because of the shit he did. Yeah, Hunt did some bad things too, and his career hasn’t been the same since, he got suspended and then was released because of what he did. But I’m sure you’re ok with what Watson did too huh? Yeah, sure, every NFL team has players who fuck up, and sometimes those players redeem themselves and continue to be good players. But usually those players that continue to play well, do so because they end up going to the right environment. The Raiders are NOT a team with the right environment for players with trouble, and after what happened with Ruggs it was ABSOLUTELY the right call to pass on Carter, it was wayyyy too early to take a RISK on somebody who was already a high risk.
