Breiden Fehoko, a former NFL nose tackle with the Chargers and Steelers, made the strongest public case against Campbell, saying the league will expose any deficiencies if a tackle can’t keep rushers at bay. “This is why they drilled Will Campbell about his arm length as a tackle. The NFL will expose deficiencies in players and if you can’t keep guys off of you as a OL they will expose you,” Fehoko stated.
Eluemunor pushed back on the broader take, replying that arm length isn’t the sole determinant. He wrote, “Tbh I don’t have the longest arms either now do I think it’s important yea but more so he’s not setting accordingly to the alignment of the Seattle Edges.” His comments offered a more nuanced view of what it takes to handle elite edge rushers.
The Campbell discussion sits against a backdrop of draft decisions that continue to haunt or reward teams. Campbell was selected one pick after the Giants drafted edge rusher Abdul Carter third overall, a move the Giants are still evaluating in hindsight. Campbell’s postseason pressure tally has been a focal point; Next Gen Stats credited him with 14 QB pressures allowed in Super Bowl LX—the most by any player in a single game this season, including the playoffs, per NFL Network’s Jack Andrade.
The broader context includes the Giants’ ongoing top-10 draft experiences. The franchise previously watched Evan Neal, taken seventh overall in 2022, struggle to secure the right tackle spot. Eluemunor’s ascent has helped mask some of that misalignment, illustrating how a later-developed contributor can offset early draft misfires and stabilize the line.
As a free-agent-eligible contributor in a line reshaped by a new coaching staff, Eluemunor’s fit remains a significant conversation point for the Giants. The team under a new regime has prioritized a power-based running game, an approach that could suit the 6-foot-4, 338-pound blocker who can play both tackle and guard. Keeping him alongside left tackle Andrew Thomas could anchor the line more effectively than pursuing another high-draft hopeful in this cycle.
Overall, Campbell’s Super Bowl showing reinforces that a high draft pick does not guarantee immediate success on the NFL stage. For the Giants, the takeaway is clear: continue building around Thomas and Eluemunor, assess the interior line depth, and weigh remaining free-agent options rather than chasing another Campbell clone in this year’s draft.
