FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel jumped into a pile of players at Wednesday's practice with the Washington Commanders and came out with a bloodied cheek, which caught the attention of players in the ensuing huddle.
"That's what we're trying to build and it starts with the head coach -- intensity, bringing it every day, taking no crap when we're out there on the field," quarterback Drake Maye said. "The mentality, I like it. That's what you want."
Vrabel later held a bag of ice on his right cheek.
