Hype has steadily continued to grow for Cincinnati Bengals second-year guard Cordell Volson.
That includes praise from one Orlando Brown Jr., the guy Volson will line up next to on each play next season, health provided.
And now running back Joe Mixon has thrown out some notable praise too, as captured by Dan Hoard: “I’m a big fan of Cordell Volson, said Mixon. “I think he’s going to be around for a long time and I believe that as long as he’s on the right track and doing what he’s doing he’s a potential Hall of Famer.”
Volson was solid as a rookie and the Bengals didn’t do much to bring in competition at his spot, suggesting they certainly see the upside.
And the former NDSU product has certainly looked the part this summer, appearing bigger and more effective after a year in the system.
In other comments, Brown has also said he sees Pro Bowl potential in Volson. If the player and team have the right idea, the supposed weakest point on the line might not exactly be an unstable link in the chain.
