Dependable. Accountable. A quick study. Vrabel called him an easy pick, one that became clear after the Patriots sent their top brass to work out Campbell last week on a trip to Louisiana. “We spent a lot of time with him,” Vrabel added.

Though he's Louisiana native, Will Campbell's professional sights had been set on Foxborough for quite some time.
