When Mike Vrabel was hired as the Patriots' Head Coach and de facto personnel head, a lot was expected in some circles. Vrabel has delivered on all those expectations and then some.
Hiring Vrabel was the best decision team owner Robert Kraft had made since 2018. Vrabel now says he got the right players in the building, had a quarterback, and didn't beat themselves, among other thoughts. He was spot on.
The veteran, and former NFL Coach of the Year, then conducted one of the best roster offseason reconstructions in Patriots history. Using free agency, the draft, and undrafted free agency almost to perfection, Vrabel then did the unthinkable.
