Campbell’s Redemption Test in Seattle | NFL News

0:00On September 6th, alright, let's talk about Will Campbell, the Patriots left tackle. Back in February, during the Super Bowl against the Seahawks, he had a rough night. He gave up 14 pressures, which was more than anyone else in a single game that season. It was a tough look, especially with the team losing 29-13. But now, as the Patriots are gearing up to face Seattle again, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is inframing Campbell's summer as a way to just forget that one game. He's saying it's more about his development as a second-year player, noting Campbell's good mindset and that he's been locked in. See, Campbell was a high draft pick, number 4 overall, and he stepped right into protecting the quarterback's blindside. Even though he had a knee injury late in the season that clearly affected him, the team kept him at left tackle. The hope is that a healthier body will help him get back to that early rookie form. The Seahawks definitely targeted Campbell in that Super Bowl, and he struggled in those one-on-one matchups. They were getting into his chest and generating power.

It's a chance for Campbell to show that the player the Seahawks dominated back in February is not the same player protecting the quarterback now. We'll see if that growth McDaniels is talking about, translates onto the field. That's your update from NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
