New England Patriots' new head coach Mike Vrabel has always been known as a leader and culture builder in the NFL. When Vrabel got his first head coaching opportunity with the Tennessee Titans, he led them to four-straight winning seasons and three playoff appearances.

Mike Vrabel hasn’t coached a game for the Patriots yet, but his former teammate has no reason to think he’s not the right guy for the job. “I know he’s going to do a great job,” Tom Brady said in a recent interview with SportsCasting’s DJ Siddiqi.

While noting that this portion of the workout program can be a challenge for defensive linemen because there’s no contact, Vrabel sounded an optimistic note.
