Hmm, did anyone around here know Jackson Carman has

character issues? From the latest "WalterFootball.com" Mock Draft:
"With Pick 37 in the 2nd round:
Philadelphia Eagles: Jackson Carman, G/OT, Clemson The Eagles seem to have forgotten what made them a Super Bowl champion in 2017. They had an elite offensive line back then, but now they can't block at all for Carson Wentz or Jalen Hurts.
Jackson Carman has some great athletic ability for a 340-pound lineman. Some believe he's a left tackle in the pros. He comes with some character issues, however."
Sounds to me like someone out there with an axe to grind is trying to do some character assasination on Carman to drop his draft status. Or, does anyone have any real information about said issues?

True, but WalterFootball.com would not be privy to that information. If they are then someone in the NFL is libel for releasing that info.

father of a recruit in Ware Shoals several years ago, and he said they asked more about what his son was like than how he played football. Does he respect his teachers, go to class, is he on time, etc. etc.

Funny that they projected him aa the 37th pick in the draft. Lol, wonder what his projection would be if they weren't considering character issues? I'd love to see him go early 2nd round!

Went on a trip overseas to help a poor area and released a video of the players and Carman was impressive, actually doing a lot of the commentary- I think he even played a piano at a stop along the way

I would be surprised because usually if there is anything like that you hear rumblings and I've heard none. Clemson is small enough and Mayberry like enough things get around.

I know he went on one of the mission trips after his freshman year. He can play multiple instruments and sing. Outgoing personality I think. Never heard a hint of a problem.

That's some $#!t right there. The only red flag on Jack the Giant is that he considered Ohio State.
But, obviously, he overcame that and has never looked back.

Some of the comments on the site suggest that the writers keep the same narrative from year to year and just insert the names of the current players.

He is an outstanding person and has no “character issues.”

The only way something like that would get out if it was from a Clemson coach's mouth, and that is something they tell a NFL GM face to face if asked, and not to walterfootball.com.
Sounds more to me like someones is spreading rumors so they can get themselves a left tackle at a discount.

If “false start” is considered a character issue then he’s definitely got a problem. LOL

not making tutor appts on time, but never a character issue like "Bad Attitude"? It was all pretty much being lazy for best explanation.

I agree. I think his first year there were some questions about work ethic but that seems to be far in the rear view mirror now.

Do not know a thing about his character but he does need to learn to move his feet faster.

Character issues can be wide ranging. I do not think he means character as being a bad person or a criminal.
I do think Jackson is a bit lazy and prone to not following his weight and diet regimes. He has admittingly struggled with his weight and has not shown the dedication to properly adhere to it. I would believe this is what they're referring to.
Now $1M+ a year should provide incentive enough to get your act together but we will see.
