The Philadelphia Eagles have been soaring high in recent times, and one of their most promising stars, Jalen Carter, is turning heads on and off the field.

The defensive tackle, who played a key role in Eagles' dominant Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs, has once again made headlines, but this time it's not for a sack or a strip, it's for some seriously eye-catching ink.

Carter revealed a massive full-body tattoo, and fans are absolutely stunned. The artwork stretches across his chest and arms, featuring a powerful combination of symbols that represent both his personality and roots.

The tattoo includes an eagle, a lion, a gorilla, an angel and a street sign for Griffin's General Store, a tribute his hometown of Apopka, Florida.

The attention to detail has fans saying "THIS IS INSANE," and "This is wild...Eagles on his chest."

Carter has made significant impact for the Eagles in a short amount of time. He was named to the 2023 Pro Football Writers of America's All-Rookie Team. He's part of a rising defensive core under Vic Fangio, including Zack Baun, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.

In the Super Bowl, Carter made a highlight-reel play when he smacked Patrick Mahomes in the facemask after a strip sack by teammate Milton Williams, an incident that had fans and analysts buzzing, though only Williams was fined.

In the season prior, Carter recorded 42 tackles, 4.5 sacks and 17 assists. With a lion's courage, an eagle's pride and a gorilla's power, Carter is showing he's ready to lead Philly's defense into another dominant season.
