I still remember how much a lot of people here were about Adeniji. "Great feet." "Best O-lineman at the Senior Bowl." Stuff like that.
And before Adeniji, a lot of people like Fred Johnson and were calling for him to get a chance to start.
After the '17 season there was a lot of love for both Christian Westerman and Alex Redmond based on a handful of snaps they played at the end of the season.
Volson is a 4th round pick from an FCS school. Cappa came out of Humbolt State, so it is possible to find O-linemen from small schools, but they are rarely ready to play as rookies. Alex barely saw the filed his first season.
I'm not sure it's "love" for Volson as much as it is disappointment in JC. He's merely the best option we currently have. I've seen lot's of folks pine for option 3 such as: Bring in someone and Option 4; What about Trey Hill.
