Fairfield football family of Bengals OL Jackson Carman happy to see him in Super Bowl

Before he was No. 79 on the Bengals roster and before winning a national championship with Clemson, 6-foot-6-inch Jackson Carman was plowing holes for the Fairfield High School Indians of the Greater Miami Conference.

He began as a 255-pound sophomore and by his senior year, he was more than 300 pounds and selected to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. "Jack the Giant" had multiple talents as a teenager, including cooking, singing and playing guitar, ukulele, bass and piano. He's also a fan of marching bands.

But, his best talent was pile-driving opposing linemen.
