"Without a doubt, the most troubling piece to the offensive line was Will Campbell. He allowed 14 pressures in the Super Bowl, the most of any lineman all year across the entire league. 56% of Seattle's pressure on Maye came from the defender lined up on Campbell. Left guard Jared Wilson had a shaky playoffs, while Garrett Bradbury's 6 pressures allowed in the Super Bowl were tied for his most all season. Wholesale changes may be needed."
"While the tackle class has less depth, it does feature a playoff starter in Rasheed Walker. A 7th-round pick from Penn State in 2022, Walker took over the left tackle job after David Bakhtiari went down with an injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season. Walker has started every game for the Packers since, allowing 14 sacks across the last three seasons. This season, he retained his starting left tackle job over Jordan Morgan, the Packers' No. 25 pick in 2024."
The Patriots' offensive line improved after replacing four 2024 starters but faltered badly in the playoffs, allowing 5+ sacks in all four postseason matchups. Drake Maye exceeded Joe Burrow's playoff sack total and became the most-sacked quarterback in playoff history. Will Campbell allowed 14 pressures in the Super Bowl, the most of any lineman across the league, and generated 56% of Seattle's pressure on Maye from his matchup. Jared Wilson and Garrett Bradbury also struggled in the postseason. New England could pursue upgrades in free agency, with centers and guards available and Rasheed Walker as a potential tackle target.
