Will Campbell is sick and tired to hear about his arm length.
It was almost the only thing discussed on one of the best prospects for an offensive line player in the NFL of the NFL next month – Campbell could be selected as fourth in the general classification of the Patriots of New England.
On Wednesday, the length of the Campbell arm was a major subject in the professional day of LSU. The measuring ribbon was brought once more and Campbell’s arms arrived at 33 inches, which was a big positive for the 21 -year -old after being measured at 32,5/8 inches with the NFL scout combination last month.
But Campbell does not really care about the measure that the NFL teams use. He thinks that the story on the length of his arm impacting his game at the next level is completely exaggerated, and He made sure to tell people He thought it was also the case.
“For two years, nobody had any measures on me and no one said anything about my game,” Campbell told journalists, according to Wilson Alexander de Nola.com. “So now, all of a sudden, a length of arms decides whether I’m a good player or not?” I think it’s BS.

“But all the decision -makers of the NFL, they don’t really care. It is not everyone accepts, and they do not lead to a reason.”
Campbell said he was measured again during the professional day of LSU because he did not think that the results of the scouting combination were correct. The difference can be marginal, but it could change the perception that the teams consider it as a tackle or a goalkeeper.
The Patriots, who have checked many needs of this offseason, always have a big void to fill at their left plate. This is really the only need for need they have not yet answered. Campbell could be placed there for New England if it is not frightened by the length of the arm.
The Patriots certainly make their reasonable diligence on Campbell. Campbell revealed that he had already visited the Patriots.

Campbell also said that he had met two teams who considered him more as a goalkeeper because they already had plated. It does not seem that it is the Patriots, who could make Campbell their left tackle of franchise. Campbell certainly thinks that it can be up to this invoicing.
“Everyone knows what position I play, and everyone knows my state of mind on this subject,” said Campbell. “I am ready to do everything it takes to help the team win and get on the field as soon as possible. But everyone knows that I can play tackle. ”
