Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel joked around with reporters on Monday when asked if he would consider a career in media after coaching.

With players in pads for the first time, wins and losses are often charted during 1-on-1 drills, but Vrabel said it’s also a time to experiment with new things on the practice field. It’s not just about winning every single rep, but taking some risks and growing as a player.

Mike Vrabel compared Patriots tight end Hunter Henry to one of the most accomplished players he coached with the Titans. Here’s why:

The front office applied major financial resources this offseason in acquiring linebackers who better align with Vrabel’s mold — including three who played for him.

New England Patriots' Drake Maye is entering his second year in the NFL, and new head coach Mike Vrabel gave him a specific challenge to improve on in 2025.

The Patriots took it easy Friday. Head coach Mike Vrabel led a 75-minute walkthrough, where players did not run or compete after two days of practicing under a hot sun. In fact, they wore sneakers, ballcaps and bucket hats while pacing through drills.

Despite the impressive state of the position, the Patriots may not be done yet. With the release of former Clemson and Miami Dolphins star Christian Wilkins on Thursday, Vrabel and company have yet another chance to bolster the unit.
