Jalen Carter Madden Career 2024-2026 - Peak 90 OVR
Georgia's wrecking ball who blew up the middle for Philadelphia
Jalen Carter won two national titles at Georgia and was a unanimous All-American in 2022, a defensive tackle who moved like something 60 pounds lighter. The Eagles grabbed him ninth overall in 2023, and he was disruptive from the jump: six sacks, 33 tackles and two forced fumbles as a rookie, enough for the All-Rookie team and a close runner-up finish for Defensive Rookie of the Year.
The second year is when it turned frightening. Carter made his first Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro in 2024, then took over January. He dropped Matthew Stafford in the divisional round and was a central piece of a Philadelphia front that battered Patrick Mahomes without blitzing once in a 40-22 Super Bowl LIX win over Kansas City. Six seconds into the 2025 opener he was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott, which brought a fine and a one-game suspension.
EA has tracked the rise closely. He entered at 79 in the 2023 edition, bumped to 82 in the 2024 edition, then leapt to 90 in the 2025 edition after the All-Pro season and the title, a number that puts him among the best interior players in the game.
