"When New England Patriots Head Coach took the job, he said he was committed to building a new culture in Foxborough. Looks like he already has. He's winning games, and he's getting the adulation of his players, including his precocious young quarterback, Drake Maye, who says, "We love playing for him." It shows. Maye is tearing the top off the NFL in his second season."
"Regardless, it seems that Vrabel has changed the atmosphere around Gillette Stadium, and whatever he's doing, it's working. Also, getting your young quarterback, who just happens to find himself in the NFL's MVP conversation, to echo that sentiment is frosting on the cake. Mike Vrabel gets a nice kudo from Drake Maye Saying nice things about your coach never hurts. Yet, when you're the quarterback of an NFL team that's won eight games in a row, the necessity or inclination to do so is lessened."
"#Patriots QB Drake Maye on HC Mike Vrabel:"We love playing for him. Every week we look forward to playing for Coach... I think it's cool when you share that in common - wanting to win, and wanting to win bad, and wanting to do whatever it takes."(🎙️@WEEIAfternoons) pic.twitter.com/LgAP3g5Ts4- Carlos A.
