Bradyn Swinson Reflects on Will Campbell’s Arrival in New England
In an exciting twist for LSU alumni, edge rusher Bradyn Swinson has reunited with former teammate Will Campbell after being selected by the New England Patriots in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Campbell, who gained recognition as a formidable tackle, was picked fourth overall on Day 1, solidifying his status as a key player for the Patriots.
During their time together in Baton Rouge, Swinson and Campbell often faced off in practice, establishing a rapport and understanding of each other’s skills. Swinson offered a glowing endorsement of Campbell, emphasizing his hard-working mentality and dedication to protecting the quarterback. "Expect a guy that ain’t going to let his quarterback get touched, for sure," Swinson remarked. He described Campbell as a "blue-collar guy" who consistently puts in the effort to ensure success on the field.
Swinson highlighted Campbell’s leadership qualities, noting his mature demeanor: “You can tell by his voice he’s going to be a 10-year vet.” He believes Campbell’s work ethic and commitment to excellence will make him an asset to the Patriots for years to come.
On the other hand, Swinson looks to make his mark as well, after a standout season at LSU where he finished fifth in FBS with 59 pressures, 8.5 sacks, and 13 tackles for loss. While he was a one-year starter, his impressive performance has positioned him as a promising addition to the Patriots’ defense.
As both players embark on their professional journeys, fans and analysts alike will be eager to see how their LSU experience translates to success in the NFL. Swinson expressed excitement about reconnecting with Campbell, stating, “That’s my guy right there. I can’t wait to give him a phone call.”
