A.J. Brown Credits Mike Vrabel's Tough Coaching for His Success

New Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown is thrilled to reunite with head coach Mike Vrabel, crediting his tough coaching style for his NFL development.

Brown told Maria Taylor that Vrabel was extremely tough on him during his first three NFL seasons in Tennessee. Initially frustrated by the constant pressure, Brown eventually realized that Vrabel was holding him accountable to maximize his potential. "He was trying to push me to become the player I am today," Brown said, noting that the two grew close over the years because of this approach.

When the trade to New England became official, Vrabel's message to his new receiver remained simple and familiar from their Titans days: "Get open and catch the ball." h-doctor.club
