One of the top offensive line prospects of the 2025 NFL Draft saw a significant update on what some view as a significant dimension.
Taking measurements at LSU's pro day on Wednesday, Will Campbell's arm length came in at 33 inches, which is longer than the 32 5/8 number taken at the 2025 Scouting Combine.
It's a significant number for Campbell, who's initial arm measurement had NFL teams questioning whether or not he could man the tackle position at the next level. Just as he rebutted then, the 21-year-old maintained that the length of his arms won't be a major factor in the grand scheme of things.
"For two years, nobody had any measurements on me and nobody said anything about my play," Campbell said Wednesday, via Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. "So now all of a sudden, an arm length decides if I'm a good player or not? I think it's BS."
Campbell, who came in at 6-foot-6 and 319 pounds at the combine, is coming off an All-American campaign in 2024 and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which recognizes the SEC's top lineman. He began his collegiate career starting as a true freshman at tackle, earning a freshman All-American honor, and finished with 38 total starts after three seasons.
Despite any physical concerns with his arm length, Campbell is regarded as one of top OL prospects in 2025 and is rated No. 9 overall in Daniel Jeremiah's prospect rankings.
"But any decision makers in the NFL, they don't really care," Campbell added, per Triplett. "It's all people who don't coach -- and they don't coach for a reason."
Perhaps the update measurement on Wednesday will quell any concern for a team looking to draft a stalwart tackle.
Earlier in March, Campbell said he was willing to play at the guard position but was determined to prove he could play tackle at the pro level. Wednesday's updated measurement -- which was conducted by the same NFL scouts who measured him in Indianapolis three weeks ago -- shows some inconsistencies can arise in the process.
"You can go look at my tape," Campbell said at the combine on March 1. "There's not one play on there that when I get beat, you say, 'That's because he has shorter arms.' Obviously, I don't have your stereotypical offensive tackle arms. I'm aware of that. That's something that I use every week in my game plan and preparation of how I'm going to attack."
