"It didn't take Mike Vrabel long to answer one of the New England Patriots' biggest offseason question marks. Vrabel wore a "T-Strong" patch on his vest during each game in honor of defensive coordinator Terrell Williams, who missed the bulk of the season due to a bout with prostate cancer. Williams was declared cancer-free in late January, in time to join the Patriots for their trip to Santa Clara and Super Bowl LX."
"It would appear that man is already in the building, but Vrabel could have other plans. Patriots may be overthinking their most obvious defensive coordinator move Sometimes it's best not to overthink it. The locker room responded to Kuhr, and it makes all the sense in the world for the team to build on that success in 2026. But Vrabel has his guys, and two of them - Shane Bowen and Jim"
Mike Vrabel honored defensive coordinator Terrell Williams with a "T-Strong" patch while Williams missed most of the season battling prostate cancer. Williams was declared cancer-free in late January and rejoined the team for the Super Bowl trip. Inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr served as interim defensive play-caller from Week 2, led defensive meetings, and emerged as a standout assistant. New England's defense excelled in the playoffs, leading qualifiers in points allowed and total sacks. The Patriots will move Williams into a high-ranking staff role and have opened the defensive coordinator position, with Kuhr as a leading candidate.
