The New England Patriots are still trying to find their footing and return to the heights they enjoyed during the Tom Brady and Bill Belichick era, and they're looking to one of the most well-known members of that dynasty to right the ship.
Mike Vrabel has shown what he is capable of as a head coach after leading the lowly Tennessee Titans to multiple playoff berths, including an appearance in the 2019 AFC Championship Game. Ultimately, his time in Nashville ended following the 2023 season. The decline of the Titans since his departure from the franchise proves just how capable he is as a coach, and now New England is hoping he can work the same magic with the Patriots.
If early indications from the team's offseason program are any sign of things to come, one of the most important pieces of the roster has fully bought into what Vrabel is preaching.
Mike Vrabel is Making an Impression on New Patriots star Milton Williams
------------------------------------------------------------------------
New England signed veteran defensive lineman Milton Williams to the largest contract in franchise history this offseason, which says a lot considering the greatest quarterback of all-time suited up for the organization for the bulk of his career. With Williams set to be the anchor of Vrabel's defensive line, the former Louisiana Tech standout has attacked the opportunity in front of him with full force.
Not only did Williams participate in every session of the team's offseason program to this point, but he has seemingly [embraced Vrabel's style of coaching](https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/milton-williams-fully-participated-in-his-first-offseason-with-patriots), which demands the most out of his star players.
No matter the sport, Patriots fans know that the best of the best always want to be coached hard so that they can maximize their potential. We have seen this time and time again when the professional sports teams in New England are enjoying success.
Having Williams buy into this approach after winning a Super Bowl this past season is a great sign for the Patriots and quite telling about the type of competitor the defensive lineman is.
