Patriots defensive end Keion White compared head coach Mike Vrabel to the legendary Bill Belichick in a recent interview.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

The New England Patriots are entering a new era under head coach Mike Vrabel. The former Patriots linebacker is already a popular figure in New England among fans and the organization. One Patriots player compared Vrabel to one of the NFL’s best coaches during a recent interview.<\/p>\n

Patriots defensive end Keion White is thrilled to have Vrabel as his head coach. He even compared him to legendary Patriots coach Bill Belichick during a recent interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like Mike,\u201d White told reporters on Tuesday. \u201cHe leads with work. I can respect that. It\u2019s similar to Bill, just with a younger face. I think we all know how I feel about that; I liked him. So, it\u2019s comforting to know that you have a hard-ass at the helm who will not be afraid to fistfight with you in a back alley.\u201d<\/p>\n

White is also a fan of the roster moves Vrabel has made so far. He is especially excited to play next to newcomer Milton Williams and a healthy Christian Barmore.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have really good guys on the inside who can get after the passer, even on early-down situations,\u201d he said. \u201cThat changes things I can do a little bit. Be less conservative and be more aggressive.\u201d<\/p>\n

If New England’s defense is improved in 2025, the Patriots could become a frisky team in the AFC East.<\/p>\n

Tom Brady finally weighs in on Patriots hiring Mike Vrabel<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Keion White is not the only fan of Mike Vrabel.<\/p>\n

Former Patriots QB Tom Brady finally weighed in on the Vrabel hire, praising his former teammate.<\/p>\n

\u201cMike\u2019s a great coach, and the Patriots have a great leader for that organization,\u201d Brady said. \u201cI know he\u2019s going to do a great job. I know he\u2019s all about tough, disciplined, hard-nosed physical brand of football. He\u2019s a terrific coach and a great friend of mine still.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brady believes that Vrabel’s no-nonsense mentality will do wonders for the organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got this no-bullshit mentality about him and I love that. That\u2019s why I think he and I have always connected. It\u2019s this mentality that we\u2019re not making excuses. We\u2019re going to go out there and get the job done. (And) we\u2019re not going to complain. We\u2019re going to work hard and we\u2019re going to be resilient, and that\u2019s how you get things done\u2026When you\u2019re in tough competition, you\u2019re not going to make excuses, you\u2019re going to go out there and give it your best every day. I love that mentality,\u201d Brady concluded.<\/p>\n

It will be exciting to see how well the Patriots perform in Vrabel’s first season as head coach.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
