- Mike Vrabel, Drake Maye address crowd at Patriots’ send-off rally
Mike Vrabel knows what an accomplishment it is to get to the Super Bowl in your first year as a coach. But he's also aware he couldn't do it without the Patriots players.
"A coach is only as good as his players, I promise you that. I know that for a fact," Vrabel told the Gillette Stadium crowd during the team's send-off rally Sunday. "And a big part of our success is our players, and especially our quarterback. Drake Maye , let's bring him up here."

Maye then took the microphone from Vrabel to "MVP!" chants from the crowd. The 23-year-old is a finalist for the annual award in his second season.
"First off, man, I just want to thank you guys. You guys have been great all season. Man, wouldn't be here without you guys. What a journey, and we still got work left to do," Maye said. "Shout out to these guys, love you guys. Celebrate when we get back. Go Pats, baby."
