I sometimes wonder if Carman is miscast as an interior lineman.  When he excelled in college he was a tackle.  He's probably been a tackle for most of his football life.  I know that pre-draft talk slated him as a player that had a high likelihood of moving inside, but he most certainly doesn't lack the size to man the position.  

I get that most teams will try young linemen at other positions, but at times it seems to be to the player's detriment.  If Volson wins the job outright, perhaps they take a look at Carman as a backup swing tackle.  They need one badly as Prince and Adeniji are both lackluster players with low ceilings.  Carman played at a high level at a top college program in some really big games.  He protected one of the most highly regarded and valuable quarterback prospects in the last 10 years's blindside, and he did it well.  There's still no way they cut bait on him due to his draft status, nor should they.  

If his problem is that he just doesn't like football, then he'll wash out in a year or 2.  I'd keep him out of the first team line rotation and make him earn a job when injury inevitably presses him into action.  If he's got any desire to make career out of the NFL, he'll take advantage of the opportunity.
