The Cincinnati Bengals went heavy on defense in the 2022 NFL Draft, but they did manage to land one offensive guy. That came with the 136th-overall selection of former North Dakota State lineman and four-time national champion Cordell Volson.
The 6-foot-6, 315-pound Volson played throughout the offensive line during his college career, mostly at tackle. He started 16 games at right tackle in 2019, then started there in the team’s only fall game in 2020 after the rest of the schedule was delayed to the spring because of COVID-19.
In North Dakota State’s spring 2021 season, Volson switched to left tackle for two games, moved back to right tackle for four games, and played two games at right guard due to injuries.
