If the NFL was THAT concerned about high-speed driving incidents, no one would be drafting University of Georgia players right now, and Jalen Carter would not be in the league. Instead, Carter is an ascending young player on a good team and UGA continues to put guy after guy into the league.
Was it stupid? Yes.
Should he be punished appropriately via the law and league rules as well? Yes.
Should the suspension be a significant and lengthy one on par with domestic violence? Absolutely ****ing not.
I mean, Jalen Carter sped away from a fiery crash in which two of his friends were burning to death and he got drafted and didn't have any disciplinary action.
But it is the NFL, and punitive measures tend to lag. Watch Rice get more of a suspension than players who have done much worse with motor vehicles.
