Caleb Lomu shares special moment with Will Campbell after pick
New England Patriots second-year tackle Will Campbell was one of the first to text Caleb Lomu after he was drafted.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass — Immediately after the New England Patriots selected Utah's Caleb Lomu, the offensive tackle received a message from a current player on his new team. And it was one he will be working very closely with. "Will Campbell already sent me a text," Lomu told reporters on a video call on Thursday night.
"I haven't been able to respond yet, but I love that. Being able to come into a room, they just drafted him last year. " So, did the two know each other before this?
"Will Campbell? No, we didn't know each other before," Lomu explained. "He was probably the first person to text me when I looked at my phone after, then it kind of started to blow up a little bit.
But I've never talked to him before. "I do follow him on social media, and I've always followed his journey from college. So, the fact I'm able to go to work with him now is, it's amazing.
