His former LSU teammate, Bradyn Swinson, got the better of him as well in what has been a difficult stretch for Campbell.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJosh McDaniels told me a couple weeks ago, \u2018You don\u2019t lose. You learn or you win.\u2019 I\u2019m a rookie. I\u2019m out here learning,&#8221; Campbell said, via <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ByMarkDaniels\/status\/1951432485381771564\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mass Live&#8217;s Mark Daniels<\/a>. &#8220;Some things that I do in college don\u2019t work out here. It\u2019s a different league, so finding what works for me out there. Everything that you do that doesn\u2019t go your way is something that you learn from. It doesn\u2019t count as a loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s too early to panic if you&#8217;re a Patriots fan.<\/p>\n<p>The rookie roller coaster is inevitable at this point in the year. Like every other rookie, Campbell is getting his feet wet and acclimating himself to the next level. The first real test will come during joint practices and preseason action, which is just around the corner.<\/p>\n<p>New England is set to hold a joint practice with the Washington Commanders on Wednesday, August 6, and they will follow that up with their first preseason game two days later on August 8.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Patriots Wire on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Patriots_Wire?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PatriotsWire\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New England Patriots rookie offensive tackle Will Campbell opened up about his struggles throughout training camp, following a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258361,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[247,265,207,7,20842,14853,7900,981,1983,206,249,88,6,35196,245,537,208,530,9,266,376,790,2637],"class_list":{"0":"post-258360","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-american","9":"tag-american-football","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-hub","13":"tag-keion","14":"tag-keion-white","15":"tag-louisiana","16":"tag-louisiana-state-tigers-football","17":"tag-new","18":"tag-new-england-patriots","19":"tag-news","20":"tag-nfl","21":"tag-nfl-hub","22":"tag-overall","23":"tag-overall-positive","24":"tag-patriots","25":"tag-positive","26":"tag-sports","27":"tag-sports-news","28":"tag-state","29":"tag-tigers","30":"tag-white"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114964515516009624","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
