Will Campbell Gets Emotional After Getting Picked by the Patriots
“Man, just all the hard work...” Campbell said before having to pause. “I worked my entire life to be up here. To hear my name called by a franchise like New England, it means everything to me.”
The 21-year-old also spoke about what he is going to bring to a Patriots offensive line that had struggled the last two years.
“I’m going to fight and die to protect them with everything I’ve got.”
Will Campbell was a standout college lineman, earning Consensus All-American honors in 2024. He was a team captain at LSU, starting all 38 games over his three-year tenure.
