The Philadelphia Eagles have had plenty to celebrate in recent seasons, but it’s defensive tackle Jalen Carter who’s currently stealing the spotlight — this time, off the field.
Fresh off helping the Eagles clinch a commanding victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, Carter has gone viral for debuting a bold new look: a full-body tattoo that fans are calling nothing short of jaw-dropping.
The intricate ink spans across Carter’s chest and arms, featuring a striking blend of powerful imagery, including an eagle, lion, gorilla, angel, and a street sign for Griffin’s General Store — a personal tribute to his hometown of Apopka, Florida.
Carter, just one season into his NFL career, has already made a name for himself as a defensive force. He was named to the 2023 Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team and is part of a rising defensive unit now under coordinator Vic Fangio, alongside talents like Zack Baun, Quinyon Mitchell, and Cooper DeJean.
During the Super Bowl, Carter added to his highlight reel with a memorable moment — delivering a facemask hit to Patrick Mahomes after a strip sack by teammate Milton Williams. While only Williams was fined, the play had analysts buzzing and fans praising Carter’s presence.
In his rookie season, Carter recorded 42 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 17 assists, showcasing the same attributes reflected in his tattoo — the lion’s courage, eagle’s pride, and gorilla’s strength.
With both his on-field impact and off-field charisma, Jalen Carter looks ready to lead Philadelphia’s defense into another dominant chapter — and he’s doing it with some unforgettable ink.
