Will's renaissance and willingness to not only work hard (to the point where Hoke wanted him to put weight back) but take on a leadership role by sort of taking charge of the defensive line by helping to conduct film sessions and so forth will be part of his Michigan legacy.
Good luck to Big Will Campbell! I wish him the best at the next level.
Craig Roh signs a free-agent deal with the Carolina Panthers, per his twitter.
Best of luck to all the Michigan Men drafted and signed today.

Hoke needed him for depth/reps at defensive tackle because of numbers. There really wasn't a choice.
Meanwhile, Rodriguez ran a zone blocking offense, which somewhat requires lateral quickness and athleticism from your offensive linemen, which the 6'5", 330 lb. Campbell lacked and still probably lacks. That's why he always recruited guys like Taylor Lewan, Ricky Barnum, Jake Fisher, etc., guys who could move. The Jets aren't a zone blocking team, so they're generally looking mainly for their offensive linemen to provide straight-ahead power. Campbell can do that (if he stays low).

what are you gonna do next? "BWC: I'm going to Ricks!"
Seriously.... Saw him at Ricks... he gave me like 4 hand stamps. It was crazy.

I hope this switch works successfully. The Jets are pretty well off on the defensive line with Coples, Richardson, Ellis and WIlkerson, but not so good on the O- Line. Any help BWC gives us, even just as a solid backup, would make this a good pick
