Flags and fines for overemotional, overaggressive play. Quiet, loner type, but a respected teammate with outstanding character off the field.
Carter's troublemaking:
Repeated warnings by GA officers to stop speeding (documented 89 in 45). Ignores warnings. Shortly later, gets shit-faced at strip club, decides to street race in very same area he was earlier warned, likely causing fatal crash of teammate and UGA recruiting assistant. (Police report indicates Carter's vehicle had similar "falling object" damage to roof as did the car that crashed, meaning Carter was in very close proximity during crash.) Doesn't call 911, instead leaves friends to die to save his own ass. Returns to the scene only upon demand of authorities, then gives inconsistent story of incident.
Skates away with only misdemeanor charges because football rules all in Athens, GA. Instead of focusing on redemption during predraft process, blows off Combine testing then shows up at Pro Day overweight, gives the most embarrassing bag drill effort ever while seemingly hungover, then just quits. This from a player who sorely needed to answer endurance/conditioning questions after being regularly winded at the end of games at Georgia where he rarely played more than 40% of snaps.
Recently released police body cam footage shows Carter acting defiant and less than forthcoming about the crash incident while being questioned about what happened. He mostly talks to a friend on his phone while ignoring the questions of the officer who is only trying to figure out what happened.
But wait, there's more -
There are reports of abysmal predraft team interviews where Carter was not forthcoming about the incident. (Sensing a pattern?)
Now - just today - the cherry on top of the poop sundae that has been Carter's predraft process: In an almost comical display of stupidity/defiance/entitlement, Carter's agent has announced that his client will now only speak to teams drafting in the top 10.
But yeah, Suh and Carter...pretty much the same guy. Carter would probably stomp on quarterbacks after the whistle too if he ever actually got near a QB more than once in a blue moon.
