San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Jon Feliciano claimed on X that Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter said he was going to murder him as the two played against each other in a Dec. 3, 2023 regular season matchup.
The lead-in to that moment began on a completely unrelated matter.
On Tuesday afternoon, Feliciano corrected an X user who thought 49ers right tackle Colton McKivitz missed a key block on Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones in overtime of Sunday’s Super Bowl LVIII matchup. While Feliciano defended McKivitz, he also indirectly alluded to teammate Spencer Buford missing his assignment in the 25-22 loss to the Chiefs.

A quick chop is not needed if the guy that was supposed to block him, blocks him
Buford caught wind of the Feliciano’s tweets and took umbrage to the remarks. Feliciano then apologized to Buford, saying he was hungover and should have handled the situation better.

Im sorry bro. I woke up hungover and being a bitch. In trying to have ones back I hurt u. It’s f-Ed up and I apologize. You got nothing but greatness ahead of you. I’m sorry bro
Carter then caught wind of the ordeal and claimed that Feliciano “spoke on” his former University of Georgia teammate, Devin Willock, who died tragically in a car accident in Jan. 2023. That moment reportedly happened during the 49ers’ 42-19 road win over the Eagles in the aforementioned Dec. 3 game.

Amid backlash from another incident, Jalen Carter says #49ers OL Jon Feliciano “spoke on [Jalen’s] dead teammate” during their Week 13 matchup, which led to him being emotional at the end of that game. #Eagles pic.twitter.com/CfE0tuLai5
Willock was a passenger in one of two vehicles speeding in a early-morning street race in Athens, Georgia. He and the driver, Georgia recruiting analyst Chandler LeCroy, died after the 2021 Ford Expedition they were in struck two power poles and several trees.
Carter was operating the other vehicle. He pled no contest to two misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and racing.
When word got out on Feliciano’s alleged remarks, the 49er guard offered his side of the events.
He admitted speaking about Willock. Feliciano also added that his remarks were in response to Carter allegedly saying he was going to kill him, and that the Eagle added that he would never see his children again. Feliciano then alleged that Carter kept posting his family and reaching out to his friends on social media as well.

If you dish it you gotta be able to take it. He talked about my kids, I made that reference. I lost a friend to an accident too so I understand why he was upset. I did feel bad thought about apologizing until he started posting my kids on his IG then I had to get NFL involved.
Feliciano then posted a screenshot purportedly of Carter tagging him in an Instagram story (click on post for full image) with a picture of the 31-year-old 49er and his kids. He also said he reported the matter to the NFL.

Feliciano then closed the loop on his end with this remark:

Feliciano is a nine-year veteran (113 games, 61 starts) who has played for the Oakland Raiders, Buffalo Bills, New York Giants and 49ers. He started for the entirety of the 49ers’ playoff run.
Carter just finished his first NFL season, finishing as a runner-up in the Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year race after a 33-tackle, six-sack campaign. Philadelphia selected Carter with the No. 9 pick in the 2023 draft.
