He said he has been doing a lot of non-football workouts...yoga, gymnastics, water exercise.  If the means a stronger, more flexible, more in shape Jackson, I'm all for it.
and tries to improve on it
He may end up not being the answer at RT either, but I give the kid a lot of credit for keeping at it, He takes the feedback and works to implement it.  I get the feeling he has matured a lot in his 2 seasons with the team

That is exactly what you want to see/hear from a player. 
Usually takes OL 2-3 years to reshape their bodies and change habits from College days. 
In college they are told to maintain a certain weight, not to maintain a certain BMI %. 

In Carman's defense, he did come into the league with a back issue hindering him his first year, so hopefully that was what was slowing him down more so than motivation and taught him to take better care of his body. 

All i hope for is that he comes in healthy and plays up to his potential.
