Will Campbell didn’t waste much time endearing himself to the New England Patriots. After the franchise selected the LSU offensive tackle with the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, a teary-eyed Campbell gave an emotional and motivated interview to NFL Network where he expressed his happiness to head to Foxborough, while also promising to “fight and die” protecting quarterback Drake Maye.
“I’ve worked my entire life to be up here,” said Campbell. “To be able to get my name called by a franchise like New England, it means everything to me.”
When asked about the tone he’s going to help set along the offensive line, Campbell emphatically stated, “I’m going to fight and die to protect them with everything I got.” That warranted a response from his new quarterback with Maye posting on X, “Love this guy already.”
Campbell, who became just the second LSU offensive lineman drafted in the first round of the common draft era (Alan Faneca, 1998), is now earmarked to serve as New England’s left tackle. This comes after he was a consensus All-American in 2024 and after a collegiate career where he was a back-to-back first-team All-SEC player for the Tigers. In 1,508 career pass-blocking snaps (38 starts), Campbell surrendered just five sacks, which is a welcoming sign for his new quarterback.
This is the final major piece of what has been an overhaul along the offensive line for New England. Before the selection of Campbell, the Patriots added right tackle Morgan Moses and center Garrett Bradbury in free agency.

Cicinho indica clube com status de “bucha” no Brasileirão: “Vai lutar para não cair”
Cicinho, comentarista do Jogo Aberto (Reprodução) Cicinho, após o desligamento de Fábio Carille, não ficou surpreso com a decisão do Vasco. Inicialmente, o ex-jogador sinalizou que o discurso atrelado ao nível do elenco cruz-maltino trouxe um impacto negativo para o trabalho. Agora, levando em conta o plantel “limitadíssimo”, houve um alerta sobre a luta contra o rebaixamento no Brasileirão que o próximo técnico vai encarar à frente do time carioca. “Novidade não é. O Vasco não tem um elenco competitivo como o presidente Pedrinho acha. O Carille abraçou essa bronca e aí sobra sempre para o treinador.”, disse Cicinho, no Jogo Aberto.

Barinka po konci ve Vítkovicích posílí extraligového konkurenta
Barinka se letos svezl s mdlým výkonem Vítkovic, které zachránil až lednový příchod trenéra Václava Varadi. Zatímco loni se po příchodu z německého Iserlohnu rychle zařadil mezi stěžejní postavy moravského celku, letos zaznamenal ve 49 vystoupeních jen 18 bodů (8+10). Loni jich přitom stihl 21, přičemž odehrál o jedenáct utkání méně.I tak na něj Vítkovice uplatnily po sezoně opci, přesto se obě strany po vzájemné dohodě rozešly.
