New England Patriots left Tackle Will Campbell was the team’s first round election in April, and he gave a bold draft day’s statement: That he would be willing to die for his quarterback, Drake Maye.
Campbell, 21, was asked if he is still standing by what he was saying and the former LSU star doubled.
“I wanted to, it’s my guy. It’s my guy. I don’t know what made me say it at the moment, but it came out well. It’s just the feelings that flow … I stand by it,” Campbell said during a performance on “Dudes on Dudes” with former Patriots stars Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman.
