The opportunity to work with a young, talented quarterback was one of the factors that led Mike Vrabel back to New England.
Vrabel interviewed for other head coaching jobs, but he picked the Patriots. He had a lot of success as a player in New England, so it was a bit of a homecoming. He’s familiar with the ownership group. And now, he’ll have the opportunity to help Drake Maye live up to his potential.
The new Patriots coach was asked on Monday how he plans to develop Maye.
“Put great people around him,” Vrabel said.
