Every situation is different. Not saying Jalen Carter wouldn't have success on other teams, but his role on the Eagles allows him more rest and allows him to a specific pass rusher.
Over the span of 3 games Carter has play only 89 snaps and never played over 50% of the snaps. In comparison to other elite DT, he's playing a 1/3 less snaps per game.
Lastly, being on a line with Fletcher Cox and Jordan Davis, Carter is given the opportunity to play to his strengths and not within a system. If I remember correctly the biggest concern for Carter coming out of the draft wasn't really the accident, but moreso his motor and his tendency to take plays off while at UGA.
