FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Mike Vrabel, who was officially introduced Monday as the 16th head coach in New England Patriots history, said quarterback Drake Maye was one of the top reasons the job was so appealing to him.

After noting how "open dialogue" with owner Robert Kraft and president Jonathan Kraft was critical, Vrabel cited the presence of Maye as another main reason he was convicted about coming to New England, calling him a "young, dynamic quarterback."

Later, in an interview on ESPN's "SportsCenter," Vrabel elaborated on how he hopes to grow with the 22-year-old Maye.
