Mike Vrabel's arrival has created discipline and a new attitude during an intense training camp, with young players showing flashes during the preseason. The roster received targeted upgrades through the draft and free agency, including offensive line help, receiver additions, and rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson emerging as a steal. Reunion with Josh McDaniels adds play-calling experience for second‑year quarterback Drake Maye. A forgiving regular-season schedule and a defense projected to be among the league's best further improve outlook. After a poor 2024, the Patriots now have a proven head coach with playoff pedigree.
"Don't be surprised if they have a really good season this year," Romo said. "I'm excited to see how this develops, because Vrabel is a really good football coach."
"You put Vrabel and Josh McDaniels together, you get a young quarterback [Drake Maye], and you got some juice," Romo said.
While the regular season has yet to commence, Vrabel's marks on the Patriots were crystal clear during training camp. There was no messing around; players were locked in, and a refreshing feeling of discipline and a new attitude prevailed.
