Orlando Brown Jr. sees big things for the left side of the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line in 2023.
Brown has praised Cordell Volson, the guy he’ll be lining up next to on every play, often since his arrival. And Joe Mixon just had some eye-popping praise for Volson, too.
Early this week, Brown chatted about how he hopes the two can form an eventually-elite duo.
“I believe we’re going to have a lot of success together because of the system that we’re in, where he’s in in his career, where I am in my career,” Brown said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “I haven’t made All-Pro yet. He hasn’t made All-Pro yet. He has what it takes to be that dominant left guard. Very strong. He has an incredible way of bending for his size, which is why he’s able to play inside and have success. Very long for a guard and I think he moves really well, too. Most importantly, I think he understands his strengths and weaknesses. When you’re an offensive lineman and you understand that, the sky’s the limit.”
It’s an exciting prospect for Bengals fans compared to the last few years, to say the least. With Jonah Williams looking great at right tackle so far, as we’ve said often, this could be the best line of the Joe Burrow era.
