Pressure percentage, Volson flirted with being an average NFL G but finished below average after a tough final week. 



Pretty much the same story for sack percentage. 



According to PFF grades, Volson didn't really improve much in run blocking as the season went on. He had a tough dip at the start of the season, rebounded towards the middle and was essentially a league average run blocker for the rest of the season. 

Good stuff, although as I always say about PFF, it doesn't take in to consideration the talent of the opponent.  He had a really tough assignment, as a rookie, but was at the very least, serviceable to solid.  

I would love to see his numbers plotted against all NFL rookies at Guard in 2022.  I do feel he is poised to have a nice improvement in year 2, and I was only trying to look at an in-house option to compete at RT with a potential trade out of the first round, get an additional pick, and draft a LG early in round 2.  I don't think it is that crazy.

Adeniji might move faster (not sure, but he could) but he suffers with the same problem Jonah does at the opposite end.  He just doesn't anchor well.  That seems to be one of Volson's strengths.  If Adeniji and Williams didn't improve their strength after being here as long as they have, I don't see it suddenly improving by next season.  Carman has more anchor than Williams.  He might not be as quick, but he didn't get bullrushed.  I feel like Volson might be the other side's version of Carman. 

Of course, they need to draft and develop at OT as well, but I still believe that Volson should get a shot at RT.
