Few people know Mike Vrabel better than Vince Wilfork.
The longtime New England Patriots defensive tackle played with Vrabel for five seasons from 2004 through 2008 before the veteran linebacker was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs, and the two also spent the 2015 and 2016 seasons together on the Houston Texans when Vrabel was an assistant coach.
Wilfork and Vrabel were two essential players on some great Patriots defenses.
Vrabel is now back in Foxboro as the Patriots head coach, and he will be tasked with getting the franchise back to contender status in the AFC after failing to make the playoffs in each of the last five seasons.
