FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —
Mike Vrabel was hired as New England Patriots coach seven months ago to recalibrate a team that hasn’t won a playoff game since its most recent Super Bowl win in the 2018 season, and has slumped to 4-13 finishes the past two seasons.
Everything Vrabel has done, from hiring his coaching staff to building out the roster through free agency and the draft, has been about laying a foundation for his first season.
As important as all those steps and initial spring workouts have been in the process, the work begins in earnest Wednesday with the start of training camp.
