Former Clemson offensive lineman Jackson Carman is already receiving some praise for his performance so far for the Cincinnati Bengals.
In this edition of What They Are Saying we look at what is being said on Twitter about Carman.
People do realize that it was the LG that gave up the hit that got Joe Burrow injured last year and not the LT, right?
The entire point of the Jackson Carman pick was to shore up the interior because that was their biggest hole up front. Sewell wouldn’t fix their guard problem.

Bengals rookie G Jackson Carman, a Greater Cincinnati native (Fairfield, Ohio), on being back home:
"I definitely had to — during my first practices in the stadium — appreciate just the fact that like wow, I'm back home. I was born literally 15 minutes away. Just take it in."

As for the Jackson Carman-Josh Tupou dustup at the end of the day, the tension might have started when those two squared off earlier in practice in this one-on-one drill. #Bengals pic.twitter.com/POtnB1wfim

4. Jackson Carman worked at LG today and has been getting a lot of individual instruction in camp. “No player comes into this league ready to play for what I coach — offensive line,” said Frank Pollack. “I’ve coached high 1st round draft picks and you don’t come in ready-made.” pic.twitter.com/PCEFAhGHBc

Caught the tail end of this, but Frank Pollack just talked with Jackson Carman for a few minutes after 1-on-1s. Footage of the drill coming later, but here’s a clip I took right at the end of the chat⬇️ pic.twitter.com/vrd1Nn6c5D
