Philadelphia Eagles outside linebacker Nolan Smith Jr. apologized Monday for his May arrest on charges of speeding and reckless driving in Georgia.

According to the Twiggs County Sheriff's Office, Smith was clocked going 135 mph in a 70 mph zone on the interstate at 10:41 p.m. on May 15.

"I apologized to the organization, and I'll make that apology now," Smith told reporters. "I represent the Eagles no matter where I go, Georgia, Florida, it doesn't matter. That's one of the ones that I own up and I apologize for. It's just like that. We make mistakes and it can't happen again and that's unacceptable."

Smith, 25, also apologized to general manager Howie Roseman and owner Jeffrey Lurie, stating he couldn't let his teammates down. A court date was set for July 14, though Smith indicated nothing significant came from the arrest.

Drafted in the first round of 2023, Smith posted 6.5 regular-season sacks in 2024 and four more in the playoffs during the Eagles' Super Bowl run. Over three seasons in Philadelphia, he has recorded 10.5 sacks, 25 quarterback hits, and 10 tackles for loss.
