What is likely most impressive about Volson's ability to win and hold the starting LG job as a rookie, is when you consider that he came from a non-FBS school and played for an offense that was overwhelmingly run heavy.
In 15 games in 2021 NDSU attempted a total of 257 passes (27.4% out of 935 plays). Sure, Volson took some lumps early on as he caught up to the speed and complexities of the NFL game. Then, he grew into the role, and even showed some times of dominance. If this guy improves on the same trajectory that he did as a rookie, he will likely be a star in the NFL.
I would have no problem with Volson getting a look at RT this offseason. However that does create a void at the LG spot, again. Does the team really want to shuffle multiple positions again, or would they rather keep the interior OL in tact with Volson, Karras and Cappa? Conventional logic says that it's easier to fix one position than two.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
