The New England Patriots' 2025 season is wrapped. Under Mike Vrabel's tutelage and MVP candidate, Drake Maye's on-field heroics and leadership, the Patriots have gone from AFC East doormats to champions in one year. Now, their former dynastic quarterback, Tom Brady, has recognized that emergence and ranked them second in his final power rankings.
Brady is as astute an NFL analyst as there is. He pulls no punches and takes no prisoners. TB12's recognition of Vrabel's and his team's achievement is an endorsement that cannot be overestimated. Vrabel is the NFL's Coach of the Year.
Meanwhile, Maye, the successor to Brady's mantle as the engineer of the Patriots' offense, has also made waves in his second season, amounting to a tsunami of achievements.
