Patriots' Wolf defends Will Campbell against criticism

New England Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf defended rookie left tackle Will Campbell following a difficult playoff performance, citing a torn knee ligament and his overall potential.

Wolf noted that Campbell played well before the injury and still possesses the necessary skills to succeed at left tackle despite criticism regarding his arm length.

The executive emphasized that with the team's best five offensive linemen on the field, New England won many games and expects continued improvement from the 22-year-old.
