Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Nolan Smith Jr. was arrested last week in Georgia for driving 135 mph in a 70 mph zone, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Smith, who played at Georgia, was cited for speeding and reckless driving, the Twiggs County Sheriff\u2019s Office said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He posted bond and was released shortly after his arrest on May 15.<\/p>\n

Smith, from Savannah, Georgia, was selected by the Eagles with the 30th pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He has 25 quarterback hits, 10.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over three seasons.<\/p>\n

He played a crucial role in the Eagles\u2019 Super Bowl LIX run, recording five quarterback hits, four sacks and four tackles for loss during the playoffs. He famously refused to exit the Eagles\u2019 40-22 Super Bowl victory against the Kansas City Chiefs despite sustaining a torn triceps that later required surgery.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia begins organized team activities on Tuesday. Smith has a court date scheduled for July 15, but a sheriff\u2019s office representative said he will not need to appear if he pays his fines.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Eagles didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Smith is the latest former or current Georgia player to be arrested for driving offenses. His Eagles teammate, Jalen Carter, was given 12 months\u2019 probation and a $1,000 fine in 2023 after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and racing related to a crash that killed Bulldogs offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy.<\/p>\n
