As Super Bowl LX draws nearer and nearer, the NFL community seems to have noteworthy events on a daily basis involving drama from athletes and the halftime show. After Surtain’s bold 35-7 loss prediction for the Patriots, the team’s rookie, Campbell, has brought considerable attention to New England with his feline tale.
With the game against the Seahawks this Sunday, the athlete appears to casually drop his cat phobia among the audience. As reported by the Daily Mail, Will surprised everyone with this revelation following the conversation related to the big game. This disclosure is more than just his fear of cats; it also comes with a shocking backstory.
The tale takes a trip through Campbell’s high school days, when he was at his friend’s during a sleepover. He added, “And I take my shirt off, I’m about to get into bed, and I just hear [a screech]. And a cat jumped out from under his bed onto my leg. I booted that thing up against the ceiling.” The story quickly turned wild when the media asked him again about kicking the cat, and he responded affirmatively.

The Offensive Tackle Will Be Up Against The Seahawks In The Super Bowl
With him confirming the kicking part, the athlete also said, “No, it needs to apologize for biting my damn leg.” His sarcastic take suggests that everything after the high school story, including Super Bowl LX, against the Seahawks, will happen despite an unfortunate run-in with a cat. Campbell returns from a midseason MCL injury to start at left tackle, tasked with handling Seattle’s edge rushers in the February 8 matchup at Levi’s Stadium.
The 6’6” LSU product has started all 13 regular-season games he played in 2025 before his MCL injury, which made him miss 4 games on IR from late November until he returned for the Week 18 win over Miami. Mike Macdonald, who is proud of Sam Darnold and the recent AFC Championship win, seems like a fair competition for the Patriots.
Will’s team, on the other hand, also had a productive season, which has made them qualify for the last big game. His high school story reveals a straightforward personality that is quick to react when surprised, but it looks like he owns the moment with humor when reflecting on it years later. With all eyes on the LX and the halftime show, the hype appears to be at its peak, similar to previous years.
