The Philadelphia Eagles have six former Georgia Bulldogs on their roster ahead of the Super Bowl . Arguably the most critical starters for the Eagles' defense is defensive tackle Jalen Carter . Carter, an All-Pro, will play against two Kansas City Chiefs All-Pros on their interior offensive line.
"Going through two natties (national championships), seeing what I've seen, you know, it just keeps me calm," said Carter. The Eagles face the Chiefs, who are trying to become the first NFL team to ever win three straight Super Bowls.

"I am very confident," said Carter on the Eagles' defensive strategy. "Coach Vic (Fangio) got us here. I'm pretty sure he's gonna finish us off right."
The Eagles had the NFL's best defense during the regular season. Philadelphia allowed just 278.4 yards per game, which is more than 30 yards fewer than the next closest team.
However, the Eagles have their biggest test of the season: Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes .
"I can't speak on that," said Carter when asked if there is a secret to stopping Mahomes. "One thing is to sack him. You know, that's the main thing. But you know, if we do that or get him off his game. I feel like we'll have a good game."
