When an offensive lineman is the talking point of training camp, it’s typically not a good thing, especially for a second-round rookie offensive lineman. That’s been the case for Cincinnati Bengals rookie, Jackson Carman, who hasn’t had an ideal start to his pro career.
Carman was drafted with the intent of switching inside to guard despite playing tackle throughout his college career at Clemson. It hasn’t gone according to plan, as Carman has been outperformed by fellow rookie D’Ante Smith, a fourth-round pick who also played tackle in college but has made a name for himself at guard.
