"The 2025 New England Patriots are an NFL Cinderella story. After two years at the bottom of the AFC East, the team has now won 10 games in a row and is streaking towards a possible AFC East title and maybe more. Drake Maye, who's now looked upon as an MVP favorite, leads the revamped offense. The catalyst for both the Patriots and Drake Maye being where they are is Head Coach Mike Vrabel."
"Vrabel is the master builder who revamped a 2024 roster that was about 50 percent dilapidated and upgraded his offense to allow his now MVP-level quarterback to thrive. He did the same on defense, keeping the opposition from scoring. Vrabel's offseason brilliance translated into the Patriots and Drake Maye's success. They are inseparably intertwined. Drake Maye has taken the NFL by storm in just his second season Mike Vrabel took the Patriots' job partly because he had Drake Maye as his quarterback."
Mike Vrabel overhauled the 2025 New England Patriots roster and scheme, producing a ten-game winning streak and positioning the team for an AFC East title. The offense was rebuilt to showcase Drake Maye's strengths, elevating Maye into MVP consideration in his second season. Vrabel also fortified the defense to limit opponent scoring and addressed a roster that had been roughly half dilapidated. CBS Sports' quarterback rankings reflect Maye's rise, with strong yards-per-throw metrics and growing confidence. The Patriots' surge is tightly linked to Vrabel's roster construction and Maye's breakout play.
