New England Patriots rookie left tackle Will Campbell received plenty of criticism after struggling against the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
After the rough outing, Campbell’s teammate, veteran right tackle Morgan Moses, came to his defense.
“I told him I’ve never seen a rookie come in and play the way he played at left tackle,” Moses said, per Mark Daniels of MassLive.com (h/t Pro Football Talk’s Myles Simmons). “The sky’s the limit for him, man. He has the opportunity to look back and rest a little bit and get himself back into working out and digest everything that’s happened.
“But for a rookie to go out there and play left tackle all the way to the Super Bowl and do an amazing job and still have room to grow, he’s the guy.”
Campbell allowed a career-high 14 pressures against the Seahawks, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. That was the most by any player this season. Campbell declined to speak to the media after the loss.
Campbell, the No. 4 overall pick in 2025, had a decent season overall, recording a 72.6 PFF grade, but the young player ended the year on a bad note.
