INDIANAPOLIS -- LSU Tigers tackle Will Campbell was a consensus All-America selection this past season, a two-time first-team All SEC pick in his career with the Tigers, won the SEC's coveted Jacobs Blocking Trophy and is one of the most highly-rated players in the NFL draft.
But at the scouting combine this week, he has been formally welcomed into the critique-filled world of the draft run-up with the fact the length of his arms is suddenly a hot topic.

But in the arduous process of draft analysis, as teams put together their draft boards, many NFL personnel executives want tackles to have enough reach to battle the league's best pass rushers, often with a 34-inch arm length as the minimum benchmark
quote:
But multiple scouting sources said Saturday that Campbell's arm had been measured at 33 7/8 inches in spring 2024 at LSU
An 1/8 of an inch

Coaches and scouts don’t really care. That’s just media generated drama.

Way to help a clickbait article generate clicks.

There was already talk of him potentially being a Guard before the combine, at least early on in his career. He's still a sure fire first round pick and he'll end up having a 10 year NfL career

Friend of mine who watches only NFL tried saying Campbell won’t be top 10 because of his arms, tried explaining anyone who even watched a little football would understand he’s a stud

Those short arms must be why he didn’t perform in his fist fight.

That may be the dumbest article I ever read. Multiple teams have interest in him at tackle. While others love the fact he can play both. Scrutinized is a Google search word for clicks.

He’ll get measured tomorrow I think. If sub 33 he’ll end up moving

I noticed that Campbell tends to move his feet to stay in front of the defender. Therefore, he doesn’t need to reach out to try to stop a defender. It all seemed so effortless with him!

Big mouth, itty bitty arms

Footwork as a big man has always been superior. Long arms just make up for slower feet which is why it’s coveted. Big men with great foot work aren’t easy to find

Don't backtrack now.
You have been on the will Campbell having to move inside to guard train.

The amount of idiots at Patspulpit saying he's a guard after watching exactly zero film is hilarious, all purely because his arms length. Just asinine.

T-Rex Campbell

quote:Yep, he allowed zero sacks. He's allowed 4 sacks total in 3 years. I know you were trying to be a dick, but your dumbass is too stupid to realize the NFL covets pass blocking more than run blocking. A lot harder to improve pass blocking than it is to improve run blocking.
He sure showed out against USC like he said Backed it up

Probably an agent of some other player hoping that he can get his player to go ahead of Campbell pushing this story

Men from Ouachita Parish may have short arms, but we are packing big time! Lol
