Bengals rookie receives big praise from two key OL pieces

Cincinnati Bengals rookie offensive lineman Cordell Volson has already been turning heads during early portions of the offseason program.

Two more names to add to the list of those praising the rookie? Left tackle Jonah Williams and offensive line coach Frank Pollack.

“That’s a good look for an O-lineman to come in,” Bengals left tackle Jonah Williams said (via ESPN.com Bengals writer Ben Baby). “I haven’t met him yet, but I have a good idea of the type of person he’s going to be.”

“You love his intangibles,” Bengals offensive line coach Frank Pollack said, per Baby. “He’s a worker – that’s how he was raised, (which is) what you’re looking for.”

Volson already has the pedigree of a strong player with strong character. Volson played two seasons worth of football in the calendar year of 2021 due to the 2020 season being pushed back to the spring because of COVID.

Now, Volson is ready to compete with incumbent Jackson Carman for the starting left guard job. But the early looks are very promising for the North Dakota State product.
