Sometimes the former player comes out in New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. That was certainly the case Wednesday during a Patriots joint training camp practice with the Washington Commanders.
Vrabel tried to break up a scrum between Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson and a Commanders edge rusher, according to the Boston Herald's Zack Cox, who reported that the skirmish precipitated from Henderson taking his pass blocking assignment down to the ground during an 11-on-11 period.
As he so often did as a Patriots linebacker in the 2000s, Vrabel threw himself into the pile — this time, to apparently separate opposing players and prevent a fight, as reported by the Herald.
