“Photographer” hounded Mike Vrabel in Salt Lake City airport on Saturday

On Monday, the New York Post printed images taken of Patriots coach Mike Vrabel in the course of the third day of the 2026 NFL draft. On Tuesday, TMZ took it to a different stage.

“How are you holding up, man?”

“Look, there’s been just a lot of talk that there’s just a little bit of a double standard here, and I just wanted your take on that.”

“Are you doing alright?”

“Are you powering through?”

“Are you and your wife hoping to work it out, Mr. Vrabel?”

“Look, I’m just gonna — I’ve got to say that there’s some talk that maybe you should step down. It’s a distraction to the Patriots. I wanted your opinion on that, sir.”

“What does accountability look like for you at this point? Sir? Head coach of the Patriots. Big distraction here. Sir, is there any comment at all?”

“Sir, do you have the support of the Patriots? Full support? Any comment? Anything to say to Patriot Nation, at all?”

Vrabel mentioned little or no in the course of the alternate. The “photographer” was clearly attempting to bait Vrabel right into a verbal confrontation, or possibly extra.

The message is that this can be the brand new regular for Vrabel, a minimum of for now.
