LSU offensive tackle was among the top linemen in college football and is now set to bring his talents to the NFL. Throughout his career, he has consistently performed at a high level, showcasing impressive game film. However, recent concerns arose about his arm length. At LSU’s Pro Day on Wednesday, he is measured in at 33 inches, putting an end to the speculation surrounding this perceived flaw.
Some doubted the accuracy of the measurement since it was recorded at LSU’s Pro Day, but those concerns were unfounded. The numbers were verified by NFL scouts, not LSU staff.
“A major development at LSU Pro Day: Consensus All-American OT Will Campbell’s arms measured in at 33 inches, checking off a crucial box for NFL executives and talent evaluators,” Jordan Schulz noted in a post. “Important context: The measurements were conducted by NFL scouts, not LSU, so no need for any conspiracy theories on this one.”
Before these measurements, few questioned Campbell’s abilities. He had already established himself as one of the best at his position. However, the arm length measurement briefly shifted the narrative. Campbell, however, remains unfazed.
“For two years, nobody had any measurements on me, and nobody said anything about my play,” Campbell said, per Ian Rapoport. “So now all of a sudden, an arm length decides if I’m a good player or not? I think it’s BS.”
With the 2025 NFL Draft approaching next month, Campbell is expected to be one of the first players selected. Many teams are in need of offensive line help, and Campbell’s versatility makes him a valuable prospect. After shining at LSU, he appears well-positioned for success at the next level.
