Will Campbell, Kelvin Banks Jr. join NFL scouting combine battle to be 1st offensive lineman drafted
Associated PressINDIANAPOLIS — Will Campbell has a candid answer for NFL scouts who question his measurements. “There’s not one play on there that when I get beat you’d say ‘Oh, that was because I have shorter arms,’” Campbell said this weekend in Indianapolis. “I don’t have stereotypical offensive tackle arms, but you know I’m aware of that and it’s something I use every week in my game play and preparation to attack different defenders.” Campbell measured in at a massive 6-foot-6, 319 pounds, but it was his 32 5/8-inch arms that sent shockwaves through the NFL’s annual scouting combine. According to the NFL.com grades, Campbell arrived in Indianapolis tied for second with Kelvin Banks Jr. of Texas among this year’s offensive line group. Campbell and Emery Jones Jr. another of the 329 combine invitees, won their respective starting jobs three years ago, giving LSU its first true freshmen tackle tandem in school history.
