Patriots Super Bowl hero tips cap to team for hiring Mike Vrabel

Former NFL cornerback Malcolm Butler believes that coach Mike Vrabel will be a good fit for a New England Patriots team looking to turn the page after three straight losing seasons.

Butler played under Vrabel during his time with the Tennessee Titans. As the former All-Pro defensive back noted, the Titans came within one game of reaching the Super Bowl under Vrabel.

"I think he's gonna do well," Butler told ESPN's Mina Kimes. "Like I told somebody else earlier, we was one game from the Super Bowl playing against the [Kansas City] Chiefs when he was working for the Titans.
