When the New England Patriots drafted offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover in the sixth round, they knew they were getting a massive human being. But even the most optimistic scouting reports couldn't fully prepare fans for the sight of this rookie standing next to his teammates on the field.
A recent photo of Crownover working out with second-year starting left tackle Will Campbell has gone viral across social media, and it's easy to see why. Crownover, listed at 6-foot-7 and 319 pounds, absolutely towers over Campbell, who is officially billed at 6-foot-6 and 319 pounds. The visual contrast is striking, sparking plenty of buzz among Patriots faithful.
The former Texas A&M standout may prove to be one of the biggest steals of the draft. While technique can be refined through coaching, there's no teaching the kind of rare physical gifts Crownover brings to the table. His raw size and power are the kind of traits that make offensive line coaches salivate.
The Patriots shared the image on their official Instagram page, and it quickly spread across other platforms. One post on X (formerly Twitter) captured the moment perfectly: "Dametrious Crownover 🤝 Will Campbell. The #Patriots rookies are finally getting some work in with the rest of the team 🔥"
For now, Crownover is expected to serve as a reserve option behind Campbell and veteran right tackle Morgan Moses, who brings over a decade of NFL experience. The rookie is still developing in some areas, and the coaching staff plans to work diligently throughout the spring and summer to bring him up to speed.
If everything clicks, the future looks incredibly bright for this towering newcomer. Patriots fans have every reason to be excited about what Crownover could become—and the viral photo is just the beginning of what promises to be an intriguing story in New England.
