A year after CB A.J. Terrell, an Atlanta native, stayed home after being selected by the Falcons, OL Jackson Carman will now play home games for the Bengals fewer than 25 miles from his former high school in Fairfield, Ohio.

Jackson Carman makes me feel a lot better about @Bengals passing up on Penei Sewell in Round 1. Carman has a high ceiling, could be the best guard out of this draft.

Zac Taylor says they planned on taking Jackson Carman at No. 38 before trading back. #Bengals
"He'll come in and play guard right away."

Zac Taylor says Jackson Carman will compete at guard to start and could "absolutely" play tackle at some point.

The Bengals select Clemson OT Jackson Carman, a Cincinnati native.
Carman’s high school coach told me he wasn’t necessarily a Bengals fan. He put all his focus on tracking the offensive linemen instead of rooting for a team. pic.twitter.com/OrB8zkwhxj
