Dante Scarnecchia’s take on Will Campbell: As analysis of the Patriots’ decision to select offensive lineman Will Campbell with the fourth overall pick in the recent 2025 NFL Draft continues to emerge, one man’s opinion holds particular weight in New England.
Dante Scarnecchia, who coached the Patriots’ offensive line for multiple decades (including during the Super Bowl-winning era), was asked about Campbell in a recent interview with Karen Guregian of MassLive.
Scarnecchia, who has been formally retired since 2019, doesn’t place as much emphasis on Campbell’s reported arm length. The 21-year-old was cited in the pre-draft process by analysts for having slightly shorter arms than most players at his position in the NFL.
