Drake Maye loved the energy from the New England Patriots' newest addition on draft night. After the Patriots selected Will Campbell with the No. 4 overall pick, the offensive tackle said he's ready to "fight and die to protect [Maye] with everything I've got."

Hearing that quote from the rookie had Maye ready for the season to start. “That gets the juices going,” Maye told reporters Thursday, per The Athletic's Chad Graff. “It makes you want to go out there and play football now.

(I’m) pumped that we picked Will.” The Patriots addressed a major need in the draft by taking Campbell, who was the No. 7 overall player on the final big board from Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department. He'll join a new-look offensive line in New England that also features Garrett Bradbury at center and Morgan Moses at right tackle.

Along with getting Maye some protection, they got him some offensive weapons this offseason. They landed Ohio State star running back TreVeyon Henderson in the second round after signing free agent wide receiver Sefon Diggs earlier this offseason.
