Arm length wasn't the only issue for Will Campbell in this game or this postseason, but it certainly played a part in his struggles. Considering that the Patriots drafted Campbell 4th Overall, there was a massive risk involved with taking Campbell, and now it'll be something every GM across the league takes note of.
Heading into the 2026 NFL Draft cycle, we're likely going to see scouts put a heavy emphasis on a players measurables. In a Draft class with tackles like Francis Mauigoa, Caleb Lomu, Spencer Fano, and Kadyn Proctor among others, scouts will have options. Moving forward, it's going to be hard to see a player that fits Campbell's mold going in the Top 10 as teams have all the data they need in this era.
