I feel bad for the man. Probably the worst performance outside of CJ stroud.

Wasn't he the guy crying before the draft about protecting his qb?

The thing is ... I've heard a couple clips of the guy. He seems like a genuinely good dude. Just got ate up in front of millions on the biggest stage.
I dunno'. Be interesting to see if the guy can come back from this. Because it didn't look like technique as much as he was just physically over-matched. Not the sort of thing you can fix in the off-season. Left guard Wilson wasn't much better.
I did notice, for whatever reason, the Patriots consistently lined up with a TE or WR tight off Campbell's left shoulder ... but that player never chipped at the snap.

Campbell allowed 4 sacks in 3 years starting at LT at LSU
Almost 1,600 pass blocking snaps
In his sophomore year he allowed 0 sacks all season long

Campbell’s physicality has been a question for a while, even by LSU fans.
At SEC media days before the 2024 season he talked a bunch about how the Oline was going to “impose their will” and “run it down everyone’s throat”. That line was one of the worst run blocking units ever, Campbell included.

I'm not a coach by any means ... I just see stuff sometimes. I noticed, in many of those clips, you see Campbell's first step looks like he's shading inside to help the guard - and he often loses right there because he's not big or strong or fast enough to recover. As soon as Campbell get stood up, he gets run over. Or he gets over his feet and gets run around.
And its always to his left shoulder ... yet his first step back is always to the inside which makes it worse. I don't get it.
Curiously enough, it also looks like the Guards first step is often outside to help Campbell ... and that guy consistently loses his assignment as a result as well.

Even though the outcome wouldn’t have changed, the optics are bad but let’s not act like he went full Cam Newton.

Cam Newton was the franchise.
Will Campbell was a rookie that made Maye play like Joe Burrell

Wildcat Mike must still be 'fuming' over the Blue Grass Miracle. Maybe he was the one dumping the Gatorade on Hal Mumme anticipating the win!

He had a tough game, which happens to the best of us. I won’t throw stones, because I’ve had plenty of moments where I didn’t perform my job very well either. It’s easy to critique from a comfortable chair instead of being the one out there performing on the field.

He is getting paid 4th pick, 1st round money…plus, Campbell talked a lot of shite in the process of being drafted. He deserves to be torched for his performance on the big stage.

Don’t act like you’re doing this because of his comments in the draft. You’re doing it because he’s a former LSU player and you’re obsessed with all things LSU.

Seems to me that’s what you’re making it out to be. LOL.

I guess he could've dive bombed the Seahawk who already was lying on the ball. But what would that have accomplished?

surprised Wildcat LSUCessed MIke didn't bag on #38 for not recovering the fumble, either.

You did!

Nah, LSU or Bama, or maybe Baylor, will bring him back and pay him more than he's making in the NFL.
