Patriots' first round pick shows off superhuman strength in workout clip
By Tyler Reed
No matter how great they become in their NFL career, when a team selects an offensive lineman in the first round of the NFL Draft, it doesn't heap the same praise as a selection of a skill position player.
However, without a strong offensive line, your favorite team is more than likely hanging in the basement of the league, wondering how they can get to the top.
The New England Patriots' first round selection of the 2025 NFL Draft was one the franchise hopes will become the great protector of quarterback Drake Maye.

The Patriots decided to select Will Campbell, the offensive tackle from LSU. Campbell is a massive six feet six, 314 lbs., making him a hard target to move out of the way for any edge rusher.
To make him even more frightening, the LSU football program shared a video of Campbell squatting 616 pounds.
The @Patriots got a dawg.

To put that in perspective for myself, that is a little over three times my body weight. I've been dieting, so it would have been more if I were knocking back Graeter's Ice Cream on a daily basis.
It appears the Patriots have selected a member of the Avengers; now, the franchise hopes he can be the hero they want him to be.
