The NFL world was hit hard on Wednesday after potential number-one pick Jalen Carter was given an arrest warrant.
Before this incident, Todd McShay was clowned for reporting that Carter had some “character issues.” Now, his previous report is going viral.
According to Seth Emerson, Jalen Carter allegedly partook in a race involving the car crash that led to the death of a former teammate and staffer at the Univeristy of Georgia.

Since this news came to light, NFL fans couldn’t help but revert back to Todd McShay’s previous reporting on the Georgia Bulldogs’ star.
From the sounds of it, a lot of football fans think McShay deserves an apology.

Oh the irony.
The irony of people blasting Todd McShay for questioning Jalen Carters character only to have an arrest warrant issued for Carter during his combine media slot…

We’ll see how this plays out for Jalen Carter. Considering the two charges against him are misdemeanors he is still likely to be drafted. Although, he may no longer be a potential top-five pick.
