Summary
Will Campbell is an ultra-experienced, methodical left tackle. He has an NFL-caliber frame for the position but needs to add weight and power in pass pro to his game at the next nevel. At times, his edge is too easily softened. He's very patient and incredibly balanced in pass pro. His anchor is a weakness right now. Outside of that, Campbell's hand work is fine-tuned. He works defenders with both hands individually in a balanced manner and doesn't lunge with two hands. His feet aren't spectacular, but he's a smooth athlete, as he routinely glides out of his stance and flows to his assignment with ease. Campbell's also a combo-blocking master for the run game and plays with much more power downhill than his anchoring deficiency would suggest. In pass protection, his kick slide is smooth and actually more effective than when quick-setting. Despite his mostly steady pass-protection play, he's clearly susceptible to inside moves. Grip strength is typically a positive element to his game. Overall, this is an experienced LT with a complete game who needs to get stronger at the next level.

Patriots' Will Campbell: New franchise left tackle for Pats
The Patriots selected Campbell in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, fourth overall.
This was a great combination of team need meeting top-end talent as the Patriots came into the draft in dire need of a sturdy left tackle to protect Drake Maye's blindside. With the first three picks being Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter, the Patriots were able to land the top tackle prospect on their board. Campbell was a decorated three-year starter at LSU who garnered All-SEC and All-America honors. Those who paid attention to the pre-draft process undoubtedly heard the critiques of Campbell's frame, namely his 32.63-inch arms, which is below average for starting left tackles in the NFL. The Patriots are willing to bet that Campbell's ability and technique outweigh the shortcomings.
