My biggest worry with him his his history of back injuries.

If anyone heard one of the "Locked on Bengals" podcasts earlier this year where Mike Sandino (I think) aka Bengal Sands, breaks down the game with the guys after watching the all 22.  He said that Carman, when he has his hands on a guy, is one of the strongest drivers in the entire league.  He criticized mostly a hand technique that they are likely trying to coach out of him where he reverts back to at times.

I know the OP was likely hammered and blurry, but Carman still has a chance to develop in to a top tier player.  

For those on here scoffing at me, I would welcome you to go back in time (or just do some internet searches) on the early days of Andrew Whitworth, who is an absolute HOF player.  He was hardly a force when he came out as an early 2nd rounder. 

Lastly, as far as calling a guard fat....look at the best guards in the league.  They are massive and can still move.  They aren't wearing any swim suit competitions any time soon.  It is about ability, not appearances.
