Former Cincinnati Bengals second-round pick Jackson Carman finally has a new home in the NFL.
Carman has joined the Miami Dolphins, as announced by the team there in a wider statement revealing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will head to injured reserve after his latest concussion.
A second-round pick by the Bengals in 2021, Carman was a colossal flop despite several legitimate chances to seize a starting job across multiple seasons. He battled conditioning and performance issues before getting demoted to fourth string this preseason and waived alongside 11 other players after the finale.
One stat really said it all about Carman’s tenure with the Bengals, a team notorious at the time for poor offensive line play and seemingly a good fit for high-upside rookies.
Alas, Carman now gets a chance to start fresh and at just 24 years old, has plenty of time to realize some of that high draft potential.
