LSU Players Go Nuts As Top 2025 NFL Draft Prospect Will Campbell Squats A Whopping 616 Pounds With Ease

For the sickos among us who are already looking ahead to the 2025 NFL Draft, LSU left tackle Will Campbell is widely expected to be the first tackle off the board next year. Understanding that there's still a full season of football to get through, Campbell certainly didn't hurt his stock on the squat rack. In a video that dropped on Friday, many of Campbell's teammates are gathered around to witness a feat of legs few of us could ever fathom: going up and down with 616 pounds on his back. https://twitter.com/LSUfootball/status/1814343191090569255 I know it's the offseason and we're still several weeks from football kicking off in earnest, but this got me fired up. Campbell spent the past couple years protecting the blind side of Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Jayden Daniels , the Washington Commanders' No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft. Before long, it seems inevitable that Campbell will be a household name in his own right. In fact, thanks to the revival of EA Sports' famous NCAA gridiron video game franchise and the recent release of College Football 25 , most gamers will be plenty familiar with him, considering he's the No. 2 highest-rated player in the nation. https://twitter.com/LSUfootball/status/1811461166411186525 https://twitter.com/ChrisVannini/status/1811053976420536429 Already sporting a 6-foot-6, 320-pound frame at 20 years young, Campbell being able to squat basically two of himself should terrify any SEC defender who tries to come at him off the edge. On 1,036 pass blocking snaps in the past two seasons, he's yielded only two sacks and zero in 2023, per Pro Football Focus. That'll do just fine. Like really, good luck getting through or around this dude. https://twitter.com/joedeleone/status/1785674848511132092 Taking over for Daniels at the controls of Brian Kelly's offense is a tall order for Garrett Nussmeier, who's waited in the wings for three years before getting his opportunity to be QB1. At least he shouldn't have to worry much at all about Campbell holding up his end of the bargain in pass protection. ICYMI, check out my top 10 rookie classes from the 2024 NFL Draft . A lot of draftniks loved what the Commanders did. Easy to arrive at that conclusion if you're a Jayden Daniels believer, and while Washington did crack my top 10, I'm not quite as high on their group as most are.
