The Will Campbell de LSU could well be the most polarizing player in the NFL draft this year.
The length of the Campbell arm and if it will bother him considerably by trying to play in the left tackle at the next level was strongly debated from the origin of the draft. He is thinking that Campbell could be better playing instead of the left tackle, where he started 38 games at university.
This gives the patriots a lot to think because they could potentially write Campbell at n ° 4 in total, because New England desperately needs to fill their vacuum in the left tackle. And Patriots’ head coach Mike True clearly said he considered Campbell as a left tackle.
“I think you have to do so,” Trebel told journalists from the meetings of the NFL owners on Monday, by video provided by team. “I do not understand how you can watch him play in the dry, which is the best conference of university football, against guys who will be drafted, in this position. So, I do not think you should project it. You could simply look and say:” There are the clichés in the left tackle. “Evaluate it and see what you think.
The length of the Campbell arm was 32,5/8 inch with the NFL screening combination, which is below the minimum 33 -inch teams that are generally looking in successful left plated and could scare the teams to write it. The arms of Campbell measured 33 inches for his professional day and he rang on his criticisms which focused only on his appendages instead of his play on the field.

Campbell, who made a visit to the top 30 in New England, would have “fans” inside the organization of patriots for his play of play with a hard nose and confident bravado.
For patriots, it could be more a decisive factor than the length of the Campbell arm.
“According to a team source, the Patriots’ front office during the last years of Bill Belichick – most of which remain intact today – cared less and less the length of the arms for the offensive tackle prospects,” Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reported on Monday. “So, if Truebel, the new man in charge does not care, why would that change?”
