Love his physicality. Love his passion for the game. He’s a smart kid, a great kid to coach, he’s driven to be very good. I think he’s a really good tackle. [What we’re doing in OTAs with him at guard] is trying to get this guy to make himself as valuable a player as we can, and valuable for us. We have five starters and if we lose a guy we have to have a guy that is capable of getting in there and doing a great job. So we want to train him at guard, and we’re going to give him more tackle work as we go forward in this minicamp. I like what he’s doing. I like how he’s doing it. Every day is a growth day for him. He’s a special kid. He’s a starting quality player. I love the kid. I think he’s a good player.

Is Marcus Cannon Reliable Backup to Sebastian Vollmer for New England Patriots? | Bleacher Report

This is the only real question I think that bears real discussion at this point for the offensive line. Even if Waters retires a line of Solder-Mankins-Koppen-Connolly-Vollmer will be fine. But if Vollmer gets hurt again you have to wonder if Marcus Cannon is ready for a full time role. Nice breakdown by Frenz.

Marcus Cannon does a flip off a barge. He’s 6-05, 350. Whaaaat?

Belichick on Cannon:

“He’s a good athlete. He’s definitely been able to do some things here in between some of his treatments and things that he’s done. His strength level, his conditioning, his overall movement skills and all that have been impressive for his size. We’ll see how all that translates to the football field and experience and plays and so forth, if and when that happens. It’s definitely encouraging.

"Most importantly, I hope it happens for him. He’s worked hard. I know it’s important to him. I hope things clear up so he gets that opportunity. We’ll just take it day by day and see how it goes.”

Marcus Cannon was on the practice field for the Patriots today! It’s an exciting development not only for the obvious reason of Cannon having overcome non-Hodgkins lymphoma, but also for our selfish reasons of adding a young, talented interior offensive lineman to the mix for the Pats.

Who knows how long it will take for Cannon to get into football shape or if he’ll even be able to contribute this year. But he’s a monster of a man and adds depth at a spot where the Pats badly need it. Brian Waters has been an excellent addition at RG, but Cannon could be the long term replacement there and it’s good to know that he’s healthy and on the road to living out a dream of playing in the NFL.
