It has been a wild ride for Cincinnati Bengals second-round pick Jackson Carman.
Carman, selected to help the offensive line in some capacity, either at guard or tackle, was the team’s answer to not selecting an offensive lineman in the first round of this year’s draft, instead opting for Ja’Marr Chase at fifth overall.
But Carman was behind the ball in training camp from the jump, struggling with conditioning and adapting to guard. A veteran teammate even mentioned he showed up overweight.
