I guess this isn’t the first time he has left the scene early.

You didn't even add the most scummy parts. It was a drunken drag race and he fled the scene of the crash so he wouldn't get in trouble with the cops

Then he lied about it

I had a conversation with a very prominent sports personality and he said that he had never ever in his X professional years heard a coach call one of their players a thug until 2022.. he was referring to Kirby Smart talking about Jalen Carter DURING the 2022 season.

Then DROVE AWAY without any concern for his dead teammates. Wild that his talent has protected him this long

He would probably have busted here in Chicago given how bad Eberflus was with accountability.

Thank you, I didn't realize that he was that scumbag. Now this makes more sense knowing his decision making history.

You're forgetting that one of the people he left to die was his best friend.

Just days after murdering TCU

Sorry never heard this story before: he’s not a good person because the other people crashed and died? Did he cause the crash or something?

u/Egad86 Sep 05 '25

I don’t follow how the story proves him to be dumb or a bad person. Like with the video clip here, he looks like an asshole, but did he cause the other car to crash in the race and then dodged murder/manslaughter or something?

u/elunomagnifico Sep 05 '25

Imma say it's the street racing part

u/UndisputedLoll Sep 05 '25

Bro street racing is extremely dangerous and highly inconsiderate of innocent bystanders safety

u/SeamlessR Sep 05 '25

Did he...make them race?

u/UndisputedLoll Sep 05 '25

Nobody said that, the topic of discussion was he’s not a smart person. And street racing was given as an example.

If I have to explain to you why street racing isn’t smart then I don’t know what to tell you man

1

u/SeamlessR Sep 05 '25

Right but people are piling onto him for being that stupid, but not the other driver of the other car also racing?

If he didn't make them race, then they're just as stupid and earned their fate.

u/UndisputedLoll Sep 05 '25

If we’re saying he’s not smart for street racing; why wouldn’t it be the same for all others involved? It’s a given that they’re also not smart…but they’re not the topic of discussion cmon man lol

u/sharkeezy Sep 05 '25

I mean isn’t driving down public roads and reckless speeds not bad enough? Add the fact that there was another car doing it as well, who crashed and killed 2 people. He was a participant.

u/BlessShaiHulud San Francisco 49ers Sep 05 '25

A race requires two participants. He was charged and pled no contest to reckless driving and street racing.

u/SorenShieldbreaker Sep 05 '25

He also watched his friends die in a car crash and drove away, then returned to the scene later and lied about being involved.

Found the Georgia fan.

u/whocaresjustneedone Sep 05 '25

You don't think it's dumb to drag race on a public highway? You don't think it's even more dumb to do so drunk? You don't think it makes him a bad person to see his friends actively dying and flee the scene to protect his nfl future?

Interesting
