How Alabama A&M’s Carson Vinson learned to love life on the blind side

By: Solomon Crenshaw Jr.

Carson Vinson says he didn’t grow up in Morrisville, N.C., dreaming about being an offensive lineman.

“I wanted to play quarterback,” the Alabama A&M offensive left tackle said. “To be honest, and I’ll speak for all linemen, nobody really grows up wanting to be an offensive lineman. That’s just something that you’re kind of given, and then you learn to love it.”

Everybody wants to score touchdowns, and Vinson was no different.

“I thought I was going to play wide receiver,” he said. “I used to go to camps to play wide receiver when I was young. I used to refuse (to play on the line). Offensive line is something you’re forced into but you end up loving. I love offensive line.”
