Carman is clearly better than Hakeem Adeniji but he got pulled for Adeniji and then sat behind him this year on the depth chart when you could see on film that should have never been the case. I am not saying Carman is some all-pro but you have to think what's keeping Carman from seeing the field is more than what he's put on film. 

The thing folks overlook on Carman is just how young he was when we drafted him. The kid was barely old enough to drink to celebrate getting drafted. In contrast, Volson was much more mature. Jackson had just turned 21 when we drafted him and Cordell was almost 24. There are guys coming out in this year's draft that are currently older than Jackson.

I'd imagine he was the recipient of some "tough love", but at least JC turned out better than another very young, immature lineman I wanted the year prior: Isiah Wilson
