For all of the talk about LSU left tackle Will Campbell's brilliant career, his expected 1st round status, and his incredibly intense & mature demeanor, now the discussion has turned......we aren't all collectively going on and on about all 9 of his flags this season or dissecting every single missed block from LSU's 2024 offensive line & assigning blame to Campbell alone...that went out of style after Week 6....

....Now, we're all talking about his "short" arms.....and I'm not just bemused, I'm kind of disgusted by the lack of big picture thinking when it concerns Campbell's supposed behind the scenes "drop" in the NFL Draft.

For some reason (and I have a feeling most of these people never actually played football), current day Draft analysts, front office lackey boys, hard broiled lifer scouts hiding from their wives for 25 years, hapless GMs (offseason lepers), etc, all consider tackles with sub-33 inch arm lengths to be......(at least) greatly flawed, (at worst)....even undraftable.

I can see where that thinking would make sense and correctly pertaining to a tackle's success, but when scouts ignore all the other extreme positives due to one potential drawback (i.e Drew Brees' height), I have to say I'm disappointed in the scouting world's treatment of the LSU All-American left tackle.

There have even been talks with teams who wanted to see if Will would switch from tackle to guard due to his perceived "shorter" arm length, measuring 32 inches & 5/8 at the NFL Combine.

It would be astounding to me, and also the folly of fools if Campbell wasn't drafted inside the top 10, but their loss would be others' gain, only allowing 49 pressures, 13 QB hits, and 4 sacks throughout 2,553 offensive snaps, with 0 sacks allowed in 2023.
