Uncover the Shocking Surprises Hidden in the Latest NFL Player Ratings by Opta Analyst
Will Campbell was selected No. 4 overall and has been as advertised at left tackle. There were concerns he would struggle at tackle with smaller arms, but he’s been the best pass-blocking rookie in the NFL so far with an 83.6 pass-block rating.
Jared Wilson hasn’t been as heralded at left guard, but he was a key addition as well. He’s been about league average as a rookie as both a pass blocker (74.9) and a run blocker (75.9), which is no small feat.
In Week 12, the Patriots lost both rookies to multi-week injuries. Losing one starting lineman in a given week is a concern. Losing two can be a disaster for a positional grouping that relies on cohesion more than any other on the field.
