In the 104 days since his introductory press conference in January, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel has already accomplished what seemed like the impossible at season’s end. Arriving on the heels of back-to-back 4-13 seasons, and inheriting one of the worst rosters in the NFL, Vrabel has managed to flip the script in short order.

Mike Vrabel was convinced Will Campbell was the Patriots' guy when the left tackle took him out during a pre-draft workout.

Both head coach Mike Vrabel and Campbell, a standout lineman from LSU, share many similar qualities in their approach to the game. When Campbell was selected by New England, he was overcome with emotion on the stage in Green Bay.
