David Andrews hears familiar ‘football truths’ from new Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel

David Andrews heads toward the 2025 regular season ranked 49th all-time with 124 in-game appearances as a member of the New England Patriots. One spot and game ahead of him on the list? His new head coach, Mike Vrabel.

Even though the two are among the most successful players in franchise history, Andrews and Vrabel previously only crossed paths as opponents. The former has been New England’s starting center since 2016, the latter worked as an assistant coach with the Houston Texans and as head coach with the Tennessee Titans since his retirement in 2011.
