No. 4 pick Will Campbell signs rookie contract with Patriots

The LSU product marks the ninth draft pick under contract in Foxborough.

The No. 4 overall pick is officially under contract.

The New England Patriots agreed to terms with offensive tackle Will Campbell on Tuesday, as first reported by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport and later confirmed by the organization.

Fully guaranteed, Campbell’s four-year, $43.66 million rookie deal carries a signing bonus of $28.39 million. And as an arrival in the 2025 NFL draft’s first round, it also carries a fifth-year option for the LSU product.

Campbell, 21, started all 38 games he appeared in for the Tigers and served as a team captain in back-to-back seasons. The 6-foot-6, 319-pound bookend earned first-team All-SEC honors as a sophomore in 2023. He went on to earn consensus first-team All-American, first-team All-SEC and a share of the conference’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy as a junior in 2024.

A Lombardi Award finalist, Campbell accrued 2,548 snaps at left tackle during his run in Baton Rouge, where the No. 7 badge was worn on his No. 66 jersey.

The Louisiana native marks the ninth member of April’s Patriots draft class to sign. Previously, wide receiver Kyle Williams, center Jared Wilson, defensive tackle Joshua Farmer, outside linebacker Bradyn Swinson, kicker Andy Borregales, offensive tackle Marcus Bryant, long snapper Julian Ashby and cornerback Kobee Minor agreed to terms as rookie minicamp opened last month.

That leaves running back TreVeyon Henderson and safety Craig Woodson — investments from the second and fourth round, respectively — to go.

As organized team activities wrap up in Foxborough, the club’s three-day mandatory minicamp is set for next week.
