The morning after: Move Will Campbell to guard? … Drake’s star dims … ‘Forget the shoulder’ …  There’s always next year … And other post-Super Bowl thoughts

Thank you, Chris Schad. I’ve been thinking the same thing. Move Will Campbell to guard. He seems too small for tackle, as shown last evening in the Pats’ semi-blowout loss to Seattle. … How bad was Will? From Nick Goss at NBC Boston: “He allowed 14 pressures in the Super Bowl, per Next Gen Stats, which is the most by any offensive lineman in a game this season.” That’s any lineman in all NFL regular season and playoff games. … So Drake had an injection for his shoulder before the game. But a HB reader writes: “Forget the shoulder. Maye had to run for his life because his team couldn’t protect him. It was hard to watch.” At the Globe, Dan Shaughnessey agrees. But … I respectfully disagree. Drake’s performance throughout the playoffs wasn’t overly impressive. So this rang true to yours truly this morning, via CBS Sports: “Drake Maye’s superstar rise hits speed bump.” … Carlton Davis is still confident – and has a hunch the Pats will be back next year, as the Herald reports. I’m not as confident. But they’re already running 2026-2027 power rankings over at ESPN. And guess what? The Pats remain at No. 2. … And, finally, there’s always the NYT. The screenshot below is from its website an hour or so ago. Three of five highlighted Super Bowl stories on Bad Bunny. Well, I guess they know their readers!
