New England Patriots offensive lineman Will Campbell refused to speak to the media following the team's 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. Campbell had a poor performance, allowing two sacks and 14 pressures on quarterback Drake Maye, who was sacked six times and had three turnovers in the game.

Why it matters

Campbell was a highly touted prospect coming out of LSU, selected 4th overall by the Patriots in the 2025 draft. His refusal to answer questions after the game and poor play have raised concerns about his development and future with the team.

The details

Campbell, a 22-year-old Louisiana native, was a key part of the Patriots' offensive line but struggled mightily against the Seahawks' pass rush. He allowed the most pressures by any player in a game this season, according to Next Gen Stats. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel declined to single out any one player for the loss, saying the team's struggles were a collective failure.
