Wolf Defends Campbell, Denies Switch to Guard

New England Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf defended rookie left tackle Will Campbell, citing a torn knee ligament as a factor in his playoff struggles.

Patriots EVP Eliot Wolf stated that Campbell was playing through a torn knee ligament, which impacted his lower body strength during the playoffs. Despite the rough postseason, Wolf emphasized Campbell's technical skills and dismissed rumors of a position switch to guard.

"With our best five out there we won a lot of football games," Wolf said, reaffirming his confidence in the rookie's ability to improve as he matures.
