One year back, the New England Patriots grabbed offensive tackle Wil Campbell, fourth overall, to lock down left tackle long term. Now with their 31st pick this year, they might go the same route again for the right side. Ion Clemson Sr. Blake Miller. A. Six foot six and three quarters, 317 pound bees turning 22 on opening day. There's no rookie to the grind. He started all 54 college games at right tackle, logging nearly 4,000 snaps on offense and special. Teams, earning first team all ACC honors twice and captaining the Tigers as a senior. From high school in Ohio, where he never missed the game despite wrestling too, he's proven durable as they come. Fans and scouts see him as a high upside fit for the Pats, with his size, quick snap explosion, balance and pass pro, and nasty run blocking drive that.
