When Mike Vrabel joined the New England Patriots on January 12, 2025, he knew he had a massive revamping of a bottom-of-the-NFL roster to undertake. One unit was the offensive line, and one position in particular needed addressing: left tackle. He filled it in the first round with Will Campbell, who's now been ranked the seventh-best rookie in 2025 by Pro Football Focus (PFF).
Campbell was the fourth-overall pick in the draft, so why not higher on that list? That's an easy question to answer; offensive tackles aren't the most glamorous positions on an NFL team.
