"But for it to happen this quick, it just shows -- first of all, our head coach, the coaching staff he brought in, and then the players that he brought in. They went out and just got a lot of dogs and just added them to the team with the experienced coaching staff...We just got a close-knit group right now, and we're willing to go out there and just do whatever to prove that we belong."
"Williams was a key piece of the massive offseason overhaul overseen by Mike Vrabel as he turned over a 4-13 roster and transformed it into a now 16-3 team playing in the AFC Championship game. Williams was the Patriots' most expensive free agent, and he hasn't disappointed. The big defensive tackle is a difference-maker. When he was injured, he was sorely missed. He's a pocket-collapsing nightmare for an offensive line,"
Mike Vrabel rebuilt the Patriots roster, constructing an offense around All-Pro quarterback Drake Maye and overhauling roughly half the roster. The team finished 16-3 and reached the AFC Championship. Defensive tackle Milton Williams was the highest-priced free agent addition and provided instant impact as a pocket-collapsing interior disruptor who was missed when injured and who has performed on big stages before. Williams credited the rapid turnaround to Vrabel's coaching staff, aggressive personnel moves, and a close-knit roster of competitive players. The overhaul included upgrades to the offensive line, receiver corps, and added defensive playmakers.
