Georgia defensive lineman Jalen Carter picked up Jayden Daniels like was a toddler while sacking the LSU QB in the SEC Championship Game.
A play in which a defender tackles a quarterback behind the line of scrimmage is known as a sack. It’s just not every day you see a defender pick up a QB like a literal sack of potatoes.
Jalen Carter did just that to LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels in a play that pretty much summed up the entire matchup between Georgia and LSU.

Twitter was in awe at the moment, which was equal parts impressive and *Stephen A. Smith voice* DISRESPECTFUL.
Jalen Carter.

Then do curls with the other team’s QB in the SEC Championship Game.
Quite the way to increase the muscle tone and one’s net wealth in the eyes of NFL teams.
Daniels got beat up in general by the Bulldogs’ defense, but that has got to be the lowest moment of his day.
Georgia was expected to dominate the Tigers and they did just that. They blocked a kick and returned it for a touchdown before scoring another touchdown off a bizarre interception that bounced off the top of an LSU player’s helmet. From there, they pulled away to take a 35-10 lead into halftime.
When you’ve got athletes like Jalen Carter, it’s that much easier to limit whatever offense is in front of you. Georgia has been doing that all year because Carter has been terrorizing offenses all year.
This is the defensive lineman’s moment in the spotlight as the Dawgs look towards repeating as national champions. Then he’ll likely be off to the NFL to make his case to become the No. 1 overall pick. He should have that sack on a loop during his meetings with NFL teams this spring.
