Dave Spadaro was on the Philly Talk podcast and mentioned that Jalen Carter broke a blocking sled during OTAs:

If it was anything like this, blocking sleds might file a restraining order against him. Jesus Christ, that sled has a family:

The vets are going to love Jalen Carter. You know how to get out of sled drills in 90 degree heat? Have the strong-as-fuck rookie break the sled. Howie is going to have to bulk order a bunch from Costco for training camp because Swatowski is running around at NovaCare:

 

I hope he shared a victory hug with Jeff Stoutland.

Now we’ve got a guy on one side of the ball breaking sleds and a guy on the other side of the ball breaking mallets in white New Balances. A team full of meatheads:

P.S. For whatever reason Georgia guys hate blocking sleds:

UPDATE – Turns out Jalen Carter didn’t actually break a sled according to Spuds replying to this tweet:

Hey all … just want to be clear here .. I’m the #Eagles homer and I meant that Jalen “broke a sled” in the sense that he has great power and he shows that strength when he’s out there … didn’t mean it literally … I get a little giddy sometimes!#FlyEaglesFly

I went back and listened to the quote and it seems like he meant broke a sled literally. I don’t know maybe Howie has a warranty on those sleds that becomes void if a player causes damage to it. Howie baby. Always working the margins.
