""He gets the best out of his best players," Ryan said. "That's what Vrabel has done for Drake Maye at quarterback. He got an MVP-type year out of his quarterback in Year 2, I think Vrabel is so great at that, being a former player, getting his best players to be the best.""
"Vrabel hasn't taken long to put his stamp on this franchise, as the Patriots went from winning just four games the year prior to 14 in the regular season before grinding out three postseason victories. In Year 1 of an alleged rebuild with many of the same players, such a quick rise is nothing short of astounding."
"Losing in the way the Patriots did is a brutal way to go down in defeat, but this isn't enough to erase all of the good things that Vrabel has done in New England. The team looked rudderless under Jerod Mayo, and it took all of one season for the Pats to get themselves back on track."
The New England Patriots lost Super Bowl 60 to the Seattle Seahawks, but roster and coaching developments suggest a strong future. Drake Maye emerged as a high-end quarterback while Mike Vrabel rapidly transformed the team after a four-win season into a 14-win regular-season squad with three postseason victories. Former defensive back Logan Ryan credits Vrabel's ability to develop talent and maximize star players, citing Vrabel's player experience and success in getting MVP-type production from Maye. The offense outperformed expectations, receivers contributed despite limited depth, and the defense improved while retaining much of the prior roster. The Super Bowl loss does not negate the season's progress.
