The New England Patriots have selected Will Campbell, a standout left tackle from LSU, as the No. 4 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, aiming to secure a reliable protector for rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Campbell, a consensus All-American, had an impressive college career with only five sacks allowed in three years as a starter. However, concerns about his below-average arm length have raised doubts about his suitability for the tackle position. Despite these concerns, the Patriots are optimistic about Campbellâs abilities based on his overall performance.
After months of deliberation, the Patriots finally made their call with the No. 4 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft - selecting left tackle Will Campbell out of Louisiana State University.
A three-year starter at LSU, Campbell has held court as one of the best offensive tackles in the country over the last few seasons - allowing just five sacks in his college career.
Campbell's overall body of work - coupled with New England's struggles at offensive line - ultimately led to the team believing Campbell can be their franchise left tackle.
"For two years, nobody had any measurements on me and nobody said anything about my play... now, all of a sudden, arm length decides if I'm a good player or not?"
