He\u2019s lost 1-on-1s and let up would-be sacks in 11-on-11 drills, but Chaisson, a fellow LSU alum, has been impressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill\u2019s been doing a great job, for sure. There\u2019s this weird note that\u2019s kind of going around about Will\u2019s kind of having like an up-and-down camp, but Will\u2019s doing a great job, man,\u201d Chaisson said. \u201cIt\u2019s tough when you get to go get somebody every single day, you know I\u2019m saying? So whether you kind of \u2014 you know their moves or not, but it\u2019s still somebody that\u2019s willing to go get you every single day and give you a battle. That\u2019s what we kind of need as a team. So we\u2019re making each other better, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chaisson seemed especially impressed by Campbell in Friday\u2019s preseason opener against the Commanders.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell earned an 85.4 overall PFF grade for his preseason debut \u2014 the fourth-highest mark out of 97 rookie offensive linemen. PFF didn\u2019t chart Campbell with any pressures allowed, though he was involved with fellow rookie Jared Wilson on a sack when the Commanders broke free on a stunt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019s doing a great job,\u201d Chaisson said. \u201cI mean, I feel like we all watched the game last week and he responded pretty well, and he\u2019s been handling business. So I don\u2019t think Will is having a problem. I think Will is doing a great job in camp. We\u2019re both giving each other great work out there. I\u2019m getting good looks, and I\u2019m trying to give him great looks. So that\u2019s the ultimate goal, man. Honestly, I want to be the best player that he ever goes against. So whenever he plays on Thursdays, Mondays or Sundays, it\u2019s easy for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Originally Published: August 13, 2025 at 6:31 PM EDT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EAGEN, Minn. \u2014 Patriots outside linebacker K\u2019Lavon Chaisson went out of his way Wednesday to defend the play&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":239761,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[80,833,839,7,838,1167,249,2326,2094,6,15,835,832,208,836,834,831,837],"class_list":{"0":"post-286357","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-2025-nfl-draft","9":"tag-drake-maye","10":"tag-eliot-wolf","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-mike-vrabel","13":"tag-new-england","14":"tag-new-england-patriots","15":"tag-newengland","16":"tag-newenglandpatriots","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-nfl-draft","19":"tag-nfl-news","20":"tag-nfl-rumors","21":"tag-patriots","22":"tag-patriots-2025","23":"tag-patriots-news","24":"tag-patriots-rumors","25":"tag-robert-kraft"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115024840268570127","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286357","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=286357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
