The Patriots have the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and many think that if Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter are off the board, they will look to address their need at left tackle.
And if that's the case, LSU's Will Campbell is one of the top prospects in the draft.
However, there is one thing that has people concerned.
At the NFL Combine, Campbell's arms measured at 32 5/8 inches, which is just a bit shorter than the 33 inches that the NFL typically wants tackles to be at. But, when he was measured by NFL scouts at LSU’s pro day, Campbell’s arm length was 33 inches.
That's good news for the Patriots, who could be looking towards Campbell as their first round pick. But some people are still unsure exactly what the measurement is.
So with that, he sent a message to all the doubters who are still concerned with his arm length.
“For two years, nobody had any measurements on me and nobody said anything about my play,” Campbell told reporters at his pro day. “So now, all of a sudden, arm length decides if I’m a good player or not? I think it’s B.S. Any decision makers in the NFL, they don’t really care. It’s all people who don’t coach, and they don’t coach for a reason.”
If the Patriots do decide to draft Campbell, it's clear that he is ready to prove everybody wrong. And that could be a recipe for success.
The NFL Draft will take place on April 24-26, 2025.
