Penn State’s Abdul Carter goes No. 1, Browns select QB Cam Ward at No. 2
- The Titans select edge defender Abdul Carter: The explosive junior pass rusher delivered another dominant season in 2024, earning a 92.3 pass-rush grade — his second straight year eclipsing the 90.0 mark.
- The Giants get their quarterback of the future: Shedeur Sanders has a strong foundation as a passer, with fundamentally sound throwing mechanics that give him the tools to develop at the next level.
Estimated reading time: 17 minutes
With the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl officially in the books, the pre-draft evaluation process shifts into high gear. After the week of practices, drills and game action in Mobile, scouts and analysts have gathered valuable insights into this year’s top prospects.
Now, it’s time to break down how these players stack up and project where they may fit in the 2025 NFL Draft class.
1. Tennessee Titans: ED Abdul Carter, Penn State
All eyes are on the Titans at the top of the 2025 NFL Draft, as the franchise faces several glaring roster needs and could take multiple paths to address them. Their decision will have a cascading effect on how the rest of the draft unfolds.
One player who has gained momentum in recent weeks is Abdul Carter, whose betting odds to be the No. 1 overall pick have shortened significantly.
The explosive junior pass rusher delivered another dominant season in 2024, earning a 92.3 pass-rush grade — his second straight year eclipsing the 90.0 mark. Over the past two seasons, he has ranked in the 99th percentile in several of PFF’s most stable pass-rushing metrics, including pass-rush grade against true pass sets and pass-rush win rate.
If selected by the Titans, Carter would provide an immediate boost to a pass rush that ranked bottom five in team pass-rush grade, pass-rush win rate, and pressure rate in 2024.
2. Cleveland Browns: QB Cam Ward, Miami (FL)
After reinjuring his Achilles, Deshaun Watson is expected to miss the entire 2025 season. And even if he had stayed on track in his recovery, his limited availability (he’s made just 22 starts since signing his deal in 2022) and lack of consistent production (he earned an 80.0-plus passing grade in only one game) make a strong case for the Browns to seek his replacement.
Ward, who led the FBS with a 91.7 passing grade in 2024, could provide the fresh start Cleveland desperately needs at quarterback.
3. New York Giants: QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
With two-way star Travis Hunter still on the board, the Giants would face a difficult decision: add one of the most talented skill players to enter the draft in decades or prioritize the game’s most valuable position.
Ultimately, investing in a quarterback would be the logical move for a front office under pressure in 2025, especially with limited proven options available through other avenues.
Sanders has a strong foundation as a passer, with fundamentally sound throwing mechanics that give him the tools to develop at the next level. However, his most impressive trait may be his ability to limit mistakes. Since moving to the FBS, he has produced a negatively graded throw on just 10.9% of his dropbacks, a 97th-percentile mark.
4. New England Patriots: WR/CB Travis Hunter, Colorado
Landing the greatest two-way threat in college football history would be a massive win for Mike Vrabel as he looks to rebuild a Patriots roster with plenty of holes to fill. While New England has significant cap space to address its needs in free agency, adding a uniquely versatile talent like Travis Hunter would provide an instant impact on both sides of the ball.
Hunter, who earned 89.0-plus PFF grades as both a receiver and coverage defender in 2024, would allow the Patriots to allocate resources elsewhere, particularly toward protecting their young quarterback, Drake Maye.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars: DI Mason Graham, Michigan
Despite having quality edge rushers in Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, the Jaguars struggled to generate pressure in 2024, posting the seventh-lowest pressure rate (30.8%) in the NFL. The primary issue was the interior, where Jacksonville’s defensive tackles recorded a league-worst 8.9% pass-rush win rate.
Graham would provide an immediate impact. Since the start of 2023, he has posted elite marks in the stable metrics for interior defenders, ranking in the 96th percentile or better in pass-rush grade against true pass sets and run-stop percentage.
6. Las Vegas Raiders: WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona
Whether it’s Russell Wilson, as some reports suggest, or another quarterback under center, the Raiders would be wise to set up their next signal-caller for success by adding a true X receiver with difference-making size.
McMillan pairs impressive acceleration for his stature with strong play at the catch point, making him one of the nation’s most dangerous deep threats. Since the start of 2023, he has secured 25 receptions of 20 or more yards—the most in the Power Five.
7. New York Jets: CB Will Johnson, Michigan
With Aaron Glenn now leading the Jets, Gang Green’s defensive identity isn’t going anywhere. In Detroit, Glenn deployed the highest rate of Cover 1 in 2024, emphasizing cornerbacks who excel in man coverage.
Johnson’s combination of size and understanding of leverage made him highly effective in those situations. He earned a 90.8 PFF grade in man coverage in 2022 and 2023 before battling injuries in 2024.
With D.J. Reed set to hit free agency, finding a cornerback to pair with Sauce Gardner will be a top priority for New York.
8. Carolina Panthers: S Malaki Starks, Georgia
Although this defense desperately needs pass rushers, the 2025 draft class is loaded with talent at the position, making it likely that a quality option could fall to them on Day 2. However, high-end safety prospects are far less common in this year’s class — with the exception of Starks, who stands well above the rest as the premier talent at the position.
Carolina ranked 31st in EPA allowed per dropback in 2024, struggling particularly against the deep ball. The Panthers allowed a 48% completion rate on passes targeted 20 or more yards downfield, the second-highest mark in the NFL.
Starks’ fluid hips and top-end speed would be a pivotal addition to Carolina’s secondary, providing the range and coverage ability needed to help shore up their deep-passing vulnerabilities.
9. New Orleans Saints: TE Tyler Warren, Penn State
With Taysom Hill suffering a serious knee injury at age 34 and Juwan Johnson set to enter free agency, the Saints could use a physical, game-changing receiving threat like Tyler Warren at tight end.
The Penn State standout delivered in a big way in his senior season, hauling in 34 receptions of 15 or more yards and averaging 2.71 yards per route run. His dominance in the passing game earned him a 93.3 PFF receiving grade, the highest among Power Five tight ends in 2024.
Warren would be a natural fit in a Saints offense that utilized 12-personnel at a top-eight rate last season.
10. Chicago Bears: T Will Campbell, LSU
Ben Johnson’s first priority as Chicago’s head coach must be fixing the offensive line, particularly in pass protection for Caleb Williams. The Bears allowed the highest sack rate in the NFL (9.9%) in 2024, making it critical to provide their young quarterback with better protection.
While the tackle spots are more secure, finding the best five-man combination up front will be essential to the team’s future success.
11. San Francisco 49ers: T Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas
The 49ers are preparing to invest heavily in Brock Purdy, with a massive extension on the horizon. That deal will likely limit their spending in free agency, making protecting their franchise quarterback an even greater priority.
With Aaron Banks’ contract expiring and Trent Williams entering his age-37 season while coming off an injury, selecting the Texas tackle would address both an immediate need on the interior and provide a long-term solution at tackle.
12. Dallas Cowboys: RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
Sometimes, the simplest answer is the right one. It’s rare for a prospect of this caliber and fit to fall outside the top 10, making this an easy decision.
Ashton Jeanty is ranked No. 5 on PFF’s big board for a reason. His 96.6 rushing grade in 2024 is the highest ever recorded by an FBS running back with at least 100 carries in PFF’s college football grading history.
13. Miami Dolphins: T Josh Simmons, Ohio State
Given the massive investment in Tua Tagovailoa—and his injury history—premium pass protection will always be a priority for Miami.
Although he is coming off a knee injury that ended his season, Simmons is expected to fully recover by training camp. His pass-blocking ability is undeniable. Before going down in Week 7, he posted an 88.4 pass-blocking grade and allowed zero pressures on 148 pass-blocking snaps.
14. Indianapolis Colts: ED James Pearce Jr., Tennessee
Although the Colts’ defensive front dealt with injury misfortune in 2024, even at full strength, the unit lacked the explosive pass-rushing presence needed to change a game.
Enter Pearce, a twitchy edge rusher with fast hands and an impressive speed-to-power transition for his size. His 89.9 pass-rush grade reflects his disruptive ability, which could immediately boost a Colts defense that ranked 28th in pressure rate last season.
15. Atlanta Falcons: WR Luther Burden III, Missouri
With Michael Penix Jr. set to take over as the starter in 2025, surrounding him with more offensive firepower would be a smart way to set him up for early success.
Luther Burden is a natural playmaker out of the slot, excelling with the ball in his hands. Over the past two seasons, he has ranked in the 87th percentile in yards after catch per reception, showcasing his dynamic ability in the open field. Pairing Burden with Darnell Mooney and Drake London, who is coming off his best season as a pro, would give Penix one of the most talented receiving corps in the NFL.
16. Arizona Cardinals: OLB Jalon Walker, Georgia
While Walker played both on the edge and off-ball at Georgia, he has quickly emerged as a promising edge defender, where he’s shown the most upside. He also thrives in big moments, recording all four of his sacks in 2024 against College Football Playoff teams (Clemson, Texas and Tennessee).
With Jonathan Gannon looking to revamp a pass rush that ranked 29th in pass-rush win rate, Walker would be a natural fit on the edge for this Cardinals defense.
17. Cincinnati Bengals: DI Kenneth Grant, Michigan
With B.J. Hill’s contract expiring, the Bengals face a significant void on the interior defensive line. Even with Hill, Cincinnati struggled mightily up front in 2024, ranking 31st in pass-rush win rate from the interior and featuring just one defensive tackle — Hill himself — who earned a run-defense grade above 54.0.
Adding Grant to the interior would be a much-needed solution, immediately upgrading both the pass rush and run defense for a unit needing reinforcements.
18. Seattle Seahawks: ED Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M
Senior Bowl week may be just the first phase of the pre-draft process, but no player elevated their stock more than the Texas A&M edge rusher. Stewart dominated throughout Senior Bowl practices, firmly thrusting his name into the first-round conversation.
Mike Macdonald’s defense generated pressure at a top-three rate in 2024, but much of that success may have been driven by scheme and circumstance. The unit ranked inside the top six in both unblocked and clean-up pressures, suggesting some potential variance in sustainable pass-rush production.
Adding an explosive edge rusher like Stewart would make a true difference off the edge, helping to stabilize and elevate the pass rush beyond scheme-driven opportunities.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: ED Mike Green, Marshall
Even among a deep group of Power Five prospects, Mike Green has risen up the ranks. After a standout season at Marshall, where he finished as the highest-graded edge defender in the nation, Green validated his talent at the Senior Bowl, flashing against NFL-caliber competition.
With the Buccaneers holding just one proven edge rusher — Yaya Diaby — under contract and limited cap space, Green could step in and make an immediate impact on Tampa Bay’s defense.
20. Denver Broncos: WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
The Broncos’ top priority this offseason must be surrounding Bo Nix with more weapons as he enters Year 2.
Emeka Egbuka would give Sean Payton’s offense a dynamic slot threat who uses his elite body control, speed and football IQ to create separation consistently. While an injury in 2023 limited his production, he proved his playmaking ability in 2022 and 2024, earning an 82.0-plus receiving grade while surpassing 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns in both seasons.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers: WR Matthew Golden, Texas
With reports suggesting that Pittsburgh will likely bring back Justin Fields as its starting quarterback in 2025, adding young talent to the receiver room would be a logical next step.
Golden showed steady improvement throughout his college career, culminating in a breakout 2024 season. He delivered his best performances under pressure, excelling in Texas’ three postseason games, where he posted an 84.2 receiving grade and averaged 3.58 yards per route run.
22. Los Angeles Chargers: TE Colston Loveland, Michigan
Like their division rivals in Denver, the Chargers need more playmakers—beyond Ladd McConkey—to step up and provide Justin Herbert with reliable targets.
Colston Loveland took his game to another level in 2024, earning a career-best 90.6 receiving grade, highlighting his natural pass-catching ability and refined route-running. Having already won a national championship together at Michigan, a Loveland-Jim Harbaugh reunion in Los Angeles would be a low-risk, high-upside move for the Chargers offense.
23. Green Bay Packers: Nic Scourton, Texas A&M
Although the Packers finished top-five in sacks during the regular season, they led the NFL in unblocked sacks, raising concerns about the sustainability of their pass rush. Among Green Bay’s four edge rushers with 150 or more pass-rush snaps in 2024, only Rashan Gary posted a double-digit pass-rush win rate.
That wouldn’t be an issue for Nic Scourton, who has exceeded a 19.1% win rate in each of the past two seasons. The former Aggie and Boilermaker brings versatility, capable of rushing with his hand up or down from either side, giving the Packers defense a much-needed disruptive presence off the edge.
24. Minnesota Vikings: CB Jahdae Barron, Texas
With multiple expiring contracts in the secondary, the Vikings must prioritize addressing the position early in the draft.
Barron brings a highly sought-after skill set for Brian Flores’ scheme, excelling in spot zone coverage with strong instincts and anticipation across multiple alignments. His Power Five-leading 90.2 coverage grade further highlights his ability to impact the game, making him a good fit for Minnesota’s defense.
25. Houston Texans: DI Walter Nolen, Mississippi
While Houston would love to add a receiving threat, with the top options off the board, this pick can be used to revitalize a struggling defensive interior. In 2024, Texans defensive tackles combined for a 38.6 run-defense grade, ranking 28th in the NFL.
Enter Walter Nolen, whose 90.4 run-defense grade ranked second among FBS interior defenders, trailing only projected top-10 pick Mason Graham. His presence would provide an immediate boost to a Texans front in need of reinforcement.
26. Los Angeles Rams: T Armand Membou, Missouri
With Alaric Jackson set to test free agency and Rob Havenstein entering his age-33 season in the final year of his contract, the Rams will undoubtedly prioritize offensive tackle in this draft.
Membou, who earned a 90.4 overall grade in 2024, graded in the 87th percentile or better as both a run and pass blocker. His athleticism and versatility would provide the Rams with a flexible, high-upside option on the outside.
27. Baltimore Ravens: T Josh Conerly Jr., Oregon
Filling the void at left tackle left by Ronnie Stanley’s impending free agency will be a top priority for the Ravens’ offense.
Josh Conerly Jr. would be a natural fit on the left side after posting an 83.0 pass-blocking grade in 2024. He also allowed just a 0.6% knockdown rate across 1,000-plus pass-blocking snaps.
28. Detroit Lions: CB Benjamin Morrison, Norte Dame
With Detroit promoting Kelvin Sheppard to replace Aaron Glenn as defensive coordinator, the Lions are expected to continue deploying one of the heaviest Cover 1 rates in the NFL.
That makes Benjamin Morrison an ideal fit. The Notre Dame cornerback is at home in man coverage, having played a high volume of Cover 1 while ranking above the 87th percentile in both single-coverage grade and coverage grade when no pressure is generated.
29. Washington Commanders: ED Mykel Williams, Georgia
Adding more firepower to Dan Quinn’s defense is always a wise investment, especially with Dante Fowler Jr. and Clelin Ferrell set to hit free agency. That makes Williams a compelling replacement—an explosive, high-ceiling pass rusher with the violent playing style Quinn covets.
Williams’ exceptional length allows him to use leverage effectively as a pass rusher and run defender. While he is still developing as a pass rusher—he will turn 21 this summer—he has already excelled against the run, ranking in the 97th percentile in run-defense grade at his position, giving him a solid floor early in his career.
30. Buffalo Bills: CB Trey Amos, Mississippi
Outside of Christian Benford, no player in Buffalo’s secondary earned a coverage grade above 70.0 in 2024. Without Benford on the field in the AFC Championship Game, the unit was picked apart, ultimately finishing the season with a 31.8 team coverage grade — 31st in the NFL.
Amos would bring much-needed athleticism and playmaking ability to Buffalo’s secondary. A multi-sport athlete with strong instincts in coverage, he has posted a 22%-plus forced incompletion rate since 2021, ranking in the 98th percentile at his position.
31. Philadelphia Eagles: ED Jack Sawyer, Ohio State
Philadelphia’s core philosophy is to generate pressure without blitzing, making high-end pass rushers a constant priority. With Josh Sweat likely to test free agency, the Eagles will almost certainly be in the market for an edge rusher this offseason.
Sawyer joins a franchise with a championship pedigree, though he brings a title-winning resume of his own after helping lead Ohio State to a national championship. Over the past two seasons, he has posted an 89.0-plus overall grade each year, positioning him for early success in the NFL.
32. Kansas City Chiefs: OL Grey Zabel, North Dakota State
One of the biggest risers at the Senior Bowl, Zabel has catapulted himself into first-round consideration. While he played tackle at NDSU, he took extensive snaps on the interior during Senior Bowl practices, where he excelled in pass protection — a performance emblematic of his 93.1 pass-blocking grade in 2024.
With Trey Smith likely to land a lucrative contract in free agency, the Chiefs can find a high-upside replacement in Zabel. A key piece in North Dakota State’s championship run, he brings a winning mentality to an offense that thrives on elite interior play.
In a surprising turn of events, Penn State’s Abdul Carter has been selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns. Carter, a standout defensive lineman, is set to make a huge impact for the Browns’ defense.With the No. 2 pick, the Browns have also selected quarterback Cam Ward from an unnamed college. Ward is expected to compete for the starting quarterback position and bring a new level of talent to the Browns’ offense.
Fans are buzzing with excitement over these two top picks and can’t wait to see how they will perform in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on the NFL draft and how these players will fare in their new roles.

#Penn #States #Abdul #Carter #Browns #select #Cam #WardAndraya Carter on John Calipari: ‘The worst thing you can do after a breakup is show up to the club with a downgrade’
John Calipari makes his highly-anticipated return to Rupp Arena on Saturday night wearing Arkansas red along with a handful of former Kentucky players and one-time recruits. One of the biggest topics of debate has been what Big Blue Nation’s reaction should be coming in.
ESPN’s Andraya Carter used an interesting analogy to describe why she believes BBN won’t be exactly welcoming of their old head coach. If Arkansas hadn’t lost six of its first seven games in SEC play, the argument would be a bit different.
“The only thing that’s really going to make it feel better is if [Arkansas] can shut the crowd up,” Carter said. “If his team can go out there and perform to a level where the crowd can’t even get into it — but that’s going to be the struggle.
“Listen, the worst thing you can do after a breakup is show up to the club with a downgrade. … Like y’all know when you show up to the bar, your new isn’t as good as your old was, and everybody’s just looking at you like — you have to show up with an upgrade. That’s the only way everybody is quiet. So, if Arkansas could come in and shut the crowd up by playing at a high level, that is the only thing.”
Kentucky fans will remember Rick Pitino’s first time back in Rupp Arena in 2001, coming out of the UK tunnel to the chorus of 20,000 booing fans in the arena. However, he returned as the head coach of Kentucky’s most bitter rival, Louisville. While Arkansas is still a fellow SEC school, the rivalry does not have ties as deep as the battle for the Bluegrass.
On one hand, Calipari is the man who took Kentucky to even Elite Eight’s, four Final Four’s, two national title appearances and the 2012 NCAA Championship. He won 410 games, contributing to Ketucky’s status as one of the all-time winningest program in college basketball history and is the program’s second all-time winningest head coach behind Adolph Rupp.
On the other, some fans feel as though Calipari left UK high and dry just days after going on a local news station with AD Mitch Barnhart to reaffirm his commitment to the program. Some fans haven’t gotten the bitter taste of the last five years worth of postseason woes out of their mouths, either.
No matter which side of BBN you’re on, everyone inside Rupp Arena will want to send the Razorbacks back to Fayetteville with a loss. For Arkansas, there’s nothing they’d want more than to play spoiler in an arena where Calipari has won in more than any head coach in history.
Andraya Carter on John Calipari: ‘The worst thing you can do after a breakup is show up to the club with a downgrade’Former University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball player Andraya Carter recently shared her thoughts on her former coach, John Calipari, in a candid interview. When asked about Calipari’s decision to leave Tennessee for Kentucky in 2009, Carter didn’t hold back.
“The worst thing you can do after a breakup is show up to the club with a downgrade,” Carter said. “And that’s exactly what Calipari did when he left Tennessee for Kentucky. He went from coaching a legendary program like the Lady Vols to a program like Kentucky. It just doesn’t make sense.”
Carter, who now works as a basketball analyst, went on to criticize Calipari’s coaching style and recruiting tactics, saying that he prioritizes winning over player development and character. She also expressed disappointment in how Calipari handled his departure from Tennessee, saying that he could have handled it with more grace and respect.
Despite her criticisms, Carter acknowledged Calipari’s success at Kentucky and his ability to recruit top talent. However, she believes that his coaching philosophy and approach to the game could use some improvement.
Overall, Carter’s comments shed light on the complexities of coaching in college basketball and the impact that a coach’s decisions can have on players and programs. It’s clear that she still holds strong opinions about Calipari and his coaching career, and she’s not afraid to speak her mind about it.

Reginae Carter Speaks On Reuniting With YFN Lucci After He Gets Out
Roommates, if y’all remember, YFN Lucci and Reginae Carter dated on and off for two years. Well now that he’s about to get out of jail, Reginae is speaking on whether she’d be down to link back up with him.
Reginae opened up about possibly reconnecting with Lucci during her appearance on ‘The Morning Hustle Show’ with her mom, Toya Carter. When the host, Lore’l asked if Reginae would be spinning the block with Lucci, Toya quickly jumped in saying, “I don’t think it’s spinning the block season.”
Toya added, “She don’t need to spin no blocks. She just need to focus like she say. But I do want her to find love with somebody that’s gonna treat her right and respect her. Somebody she can build and grow with, all that good stuff. But spinning the block, ain’t no blocks getting spinned.”
As far as Reginae’s feelings go, she made it clear she was happy for Lucci, his kids, and his family. She also said there’s no bad blood between them, but she straight-up stated that reuniting isn’t happening.
“But spinning the block and being back together that’s not gonna happen.”
Reginae Carter also discussed her decision to maintain a private life. She feels that people pay more attention to who she’s dating than to her work.
“My relationships has been the highlight of my life. I just feel like people always obsessed with my relationships and don’t really pay attention to my craft and my talent. I’ll drop a movie the same week, but then be seen with a boy and that will get posted and not my movie. I want people to focus on me, because them men they are a [distraction] in my life,” Reginae said.

I feel like I have love for Ray, but I wanna live, I can’t do it with a man in jail, I’m sorry, I’m only 23-years-old. But at the end of the day, I still wish the best for him.”

Timothée Chalamet is under fire for making an off-color joke about former president Jimmy Carter during his appearance on “Saturday Night Live.”
The remark, made just weeks after Jimmy Carter’s passing at age 100, sparked gasps from the studio audience and Timothée Chalamet is now facing a wave of criticism online.
Controversial Jimmy Carter Joke By Timothée Chalamet Leaves ‘SNL’ Fans Furious
The incident occurred during the “Bungee” skit, where Chalamet played an instructor at a workout class. At one point, he told participants to perform “The Jimmy Carter,” leading everyone to hang limp in their harnesses, mimicking death.
The audience reaction was immediate, with audible gasps filling the studio. Viewers at home were equally taken aback, expressing their disapproval on social media.

One viewer criticized the joke for being “totally disrespectful and out of line,” adding, “And yes, I have a sense of humor and love the show, but that was just horrible and too soon. I hope his family didn’t see that.”
“Too soon and not funny! The whole skit was crap,” another shared.
“Someone’s going to hell for that one,” one person commented on the clip of the sketch shared on YouTube.
Timothée Chalamet Gets Blasted For ‘SNL’ Joke
Others were harsher in their judgment. “Wow, ‘SNL,’ a Jimmy Carter is dead joke? Not funny, not appropriate,” said one user.
Another declared the remark could even cost Chalamet his Oscar chances for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown.”
“If I were a betting man, I would’ve bet on Timothée Chalamet winning an Oscar for his Dylan portrayal, but his dead Jimmy Carter joke on ‘SNL’ a full month before voting ends changes that. Insensitive and really immature. Just unnecessary,” the fan wrote.
“Was funny until that Jimmy Carter line. Totally disrespectful and out of line,” someone else expressed. “And yes I have a sense of humor and love the show but that was just horrible and too soon … I hope his family didn’t see that.”
Chalamet and “SNL” have yet to respond to the controversy, but the backlash highlights the fine line between humor and insensitivity. While “Saturday Night Live” has long been known for its edgy comedic takes, this moment has left many questioning the show’s judgment in tackling such a recent loss.
Jimmy Carter Passes Away

Carter, who passed away on December 29, 2024, after nearly two years in hospice care, was the longest-living president in U.S. history. A tireless advocate for peace and human rights, his family and admirers celebrated his legacy in statements and tributes.
“My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love,” his son, Chip Carter, said in a statement. “The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.”
Carter’s funeral service, held on January 9 at the Washington National Cathedral, was attended by prominent world leaders, including presidents Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton.
Jimmy Carter’s Legacy

During his presidency, Carter achieved several significant milestones that continue to define his legacy. One of his most notable accomplishments was the Camp David Accords in 1978, where he brokered a historic peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. This landmark achievement in Middle East diplomacy earned widespread praise and demonstrated his unwavering commitment to peace.
Amid an energy crisis, Carter prioritized energy conservation and reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil. He established the Department of Energy and championed renewable energy initiatives, encouraging environmental stewardship to address the nation’s growing energy concerns.
Carter also made human rights a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy, emphasizing the importance of holding nations accountable for their treatment of citizens. His focus on human rights influenced U.S. relations with the Soviet Union and other countries during his tenure, setting a new standard for diplomatic engagement.
In addition to these achievements, Carter expanded environmental protections by designating millions of acres of wilderness in Alaska and increasing the scope of national parks.
In a recent episode of “Saturday Night Live,” actor Timothée Chalamet caused controversy with a joke about former President Jimmy Carter. During his monologue, Chalamet quipped, “I heard Jimmy Carter is the only president who can still fit into his inauguration suit. That’s because he was so skinny back then, not because he’s dead or anything.”The joke immediately drew backlash from viewers, who accused Chalamet of being insensitive and disrespectful towards the 39th president. Many took to social media to express their outrage, with some calling for an apology from the actor.
Chalamet has yet to address the controversy, but it serves as a reminder that even seemingly harmless jokes can have unintended consequences. It’s important to be mindful of the impact of our words, especially when it comes to public figures and sensitive topics.

The Philadelphia Eagles certainly have bright future.
Philadelphia is one win away from making a return trip to the Super Bowl and this team should be able to contend for years to come. The Eagles are loaded on both sides of the ball and although they could lose some pieces in free agency, Philadelphia has a good chunk of its core locked up for the foreseeable future.
The Eagles’ championship window is wide open. One of the reasons why the Eagles have been able to turn things around this season is because the defense has taken a massive step forward. Philadelphia’s defense is the best in the league and right at the center of that is second-year defensive tackle Jalen Carter.
He’s a budding superstar and it sounds like former Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald seems to think so too. Former Eagles star running back LeSean McCoy said on “The Facility” he spoke to Donald recently and he had nothing but praise for Carter.
“I had a chance to speak to Aaron Donald yesterday, one of my good friends, one of my best friends,” McCoy said. “You know what he said. He said ‘Shady, I haven’t watched football like that in a long time, he said that guy Jalen Carter, bro, my replacement is here.’”
That’s some pretty high praise from a future Hall of Famer like Donald. He was the most dominant defensive player in the NFL for years and finished his career with three Defensive Player of the Year Awards and eight first-team All-Pro nods.
If Carter can end up being anywhere Donald, the Eagles will be in a good place.
More NFL: Eagles Legend Returning To Philly For NFC Championship Game
Former NFL legend and Hall of Famer, Deion Sanders, took to social media to express his admiration for Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie quarterback, Jalen Carter. In a recent tweet, Sanders declared, “My replacement is here,” alongside a highlight reel of Carter’s impressive plays on the field.Carter, a standout player from the University of Alabama, has been turning heads with his incredible athleticism and leadership skills since joining the Eagles. His ability to read defenses, make quick decisions, and deliver accurate passes has drawn comparisons to some of the greatest quarterbacks in the game.
Sanders, known for his electrifying play on the field and charismatic personality off of it, sees something special in Carter that reminds him of his own playing days. The endorsement from a football icon like Sanders is sure to boost Carter’s confidence and further solidify his place as a rising star in the NFL.
Eagles fans are thrilled to see their young quarterback gaining recognition from a legend like Sanders and are eager to see what the future holds for Jalen Carter. With the support of a Hall of Famer behind him, the sky’s the limit for this promising young talent. #FlyEaglesFly #JalenCarter #DeionSanders

2025 NFC Championship: Jalen Carter humbled by Aaron Donald comments after saving Eagles year, set for encore
PHILADELPHIA — Jalen Carter has the drive to be great. When Sunday rolls around, the Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle excepts nothing less.
But even Carter is humbled. When one of the greatest defensive players of all time gives Carter a shoutout, all Carter could do was smile.
Eagles legend LeSean McCoy revealed on Fox Sports 1 he spoke to Donald, a friend of McCoy’s and fellow Pitt alum, as the future Hall of Famer give the highest praise to Carter.
“I haven’t watched football like that in a long time, Donald told McCoy. “That guy Jalen Carter, bro. My replacement is here.”
When Carter was informed of Donald’s comments, the reaction was wholesome.
“That’s nice man. I always wanted to talk to AD,” Carter said. “Just to hear that from him, one of the best, and I watched his film and learned from him. That means a lot…That’s love from an OG right there. I really don’t know what else to say.
“If I’m getting that from him, that means something right there.”
Carter had one of the most dominant performances in Eagles playoff history in last week’s divisional round victory over the Los Angeles Rams. He finished with five tackles, two sacks, seven pressures, three quarterback hits, and a forced fumble in the 28-22 victory — with his two biggest plays in the fourth quarter. His forced fumble on the first play of the fourth quarter led to the Eagles extending their lead, but the biggest play was a sack on Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford on a third-and-2 at the Eagles’ 13 with 1:14 left in the Eagles clinging to a 28-22 lead. On the next play, Carter hit Stafford and forced an incompletion that sealed the Eagles win.
Carter saved the Eagles season. he doesn’t look at it that way, part of what makes him great.
“It made me feel good. But you know, it really don’t hit until like later on,” Carter said. “We all celebrating there. You know, I’m getting all the [accolades] as you mentioned. I’m like I might [have won the game] but at the end it’s still a team game, like we all had to do what we had to do.
“I know that one play is a big play, but at the end of the day, everybody still had to do their job.”
Carter is the one player on the Eagles defense the Washington Commanders have to account for at all times. He’s the one that can change the game for Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels as well.
Sunday could be an encore performance for Carter, who is already tabbed as the next Aaron Donald.

But it was his post-game interaction with Donald that truly captured the hearts of football fans everywhere.
After the game, Donald, known for his dominance on the field and humble demeanor off of it, took the time to praise Carter for his performance. He commended the young player for his talent, work ethic, and sportsmanship, calling him a “rising star in the league.”
Carter, who has long admired Donald and modeled his game after the Rams’ defensive powerhouse, was visibly moved by the praise. In a post-game interview, he expressed his gratitude for Donald’s kind words, saying that it was a surreal moment for him to receive such high praise from one of the game’s all-time greats.
But Carter’s humility and respect for Donald didn’t stop there. As he looks ahead to the Super Bowl and the chance to further solidify his place among the league’s elite, he remains focused on his team and the task at hand.
With the support of his teammates and the inspiration of players like Donald, Jalen Carter is poised for an encore performance that could solidify his legacy in the NFL. And with the humility and respect he has shown throughout his career, there’s no doubt that he will continue to make a lasting impact on and off the field for years to come.
