NFL.com - Bengals biggest offseason needs

Jackson Carman has actually been really good in pass protection as a rookie. He has allowed 13 total pressures and 0 sacks in 462 snaps. Really his only bad game in pass pro was vs the Packers which he gave up 6 Pressures almost half his total in that one game alone.
