Gronk, Drew Brees push back on concern about Patriots hiring Vrabel originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Mike Vrabel looks like the leader in the clubhouse to be the New England Patriots' head coach. But should his background give the team pause?
After all, Vrabel has spent almost his entire NFL career as a player and coach on the defensive side of the ball. He won three Super Bowls in New England as an outside linebacker, served as a linebackers coach and defensive coordinator with the Houston Texans, and didn't call offensive plays during his six-year stint as Tennessee Titans head coach.
