The New England Patriots took a team trip to TD Garden for a game between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. One rookie stole the show and sent the arena into a frenzy.
During the second quarter of the contest, the cameras panned around the arena and found the Patriots in a luxury box.
While the rest of the Patriots waved hello, rookie offensive lineman Will Campbell showed he knows how to have a good time.
A shirtless Campbell grabbed his beer and began chugging it to the delight of the crowd.
After finishing his drink, Campbell threw his cup to the ground and let out a roar of approval.
The Louisiana native then threw his arms up in an attempt to hype the crowd before walking away to be celebrated by his teammates.

Campbell (66) has been off the field since suffering a knee injury in this game vs. the Bengals
Campbell was a revelation for the Patriots’ offensive line after years of struggle following the departure of Tom Brady.
Since the greatest quarterback in the franchise’s history left, the offensive line has declined in quality to protect Cam Newton, Mac Jones and now Drake Maye.
But this season has been something of a step in the right direction – and Campbell was a major reason for that.
However, a knee injury has kept the pass blocker off the field for some weeks. He’s been on injured reserve and hasn’t participated in practice since late November.
Campbell could be back if – or, more likely, when – the Patriots reach the NFL’s postseason.
New England sits at 11-3 on the season and could clinch a playoff berth this Sunday by beating or tying the Baltimore Ravens. They could also get there if the Indianapolis Colts or Houston Texans lose or tie.
