"Mike Vrabel received an unusual Christmas gift from the Patriots' offensive linemen last month. It was a T-shirt of himself carrying rookie left tackle Will Campbell in a BabyBjörn. Vrabel called the gift "cute" and debated whether or not to post a picture of it on social media before settling on keeping it offline. He joked that Campbell would kill him if he saw it on social media."
""They have an amazing relationship," Lowe said. "So I think some of the guys in the o-line room wanted to make fun of that. It was hilarious, actually." Speaking at his locker after the Patriots win against the Dolphins on Sunday, Campbell shed some light on his bond with Vrabel. Campbell, taken No. 4 overall last year, was the Patriots' first draft pick of the Vrabel era."
""The first time I met him, we definitely hit it off. I mean, we're very similar," Campbell said. "I just feel like it's very rare to have a coach like him that can connect with so many different personalities on a team." "I don't ever want to have to play for anybody else," Campbell added. "I feel like that's the best way to sum it up. Other than high school, this is the most fun I've had playing football since high school.""
