Jalen Carter is No. 3 among DTs in sacks and tied for No. 1 in pressures (per PFF). Also tied for No. 8 in hits. He's not just one of the best rookies. He's been one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL this season.
From @Stathead: Jalen Carter is the first DT with 3 ½ sacks, four quarterback hits and four tackles for loss in his first five career games since Chris Jones of the Patriots in 2007.
Jalen Carter has 3 ½ sacks. Every other rookie defensive tackle in the NFL combined has 3 ½ sacks. 3 ½ … Jalen Carter 1 ½ … Bryan Breese 1.0 … Dante Stills 1.0 … Kobie Turner
Jalen Carter now has 3.5 sacks in 5 games. Only other Eagles to do it in their first 5 games? Reggie White and Corey Simon. (h/t @john_gonoude)
Jalen Carter first Eagles interior lineman with a two-sack game since Corey Simon at New Orleans in 2000.
Jalen Carter is a bad man. Hopefully he keeps it together off the field.
The rest of the NFL is going to regret letting Jalen Carter fall to the #Eagles. Just an incredible talent. So disruptive.
