- Mike Vrabel reacts to Patriots owner Robert Kraft once again being snubbed by Hall
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Reports of Robert Kraft once again failing to gain entry into the Pro Football Hall Fame has left many puzzled - including his head coach.
During his morning press conference at the team hotel Tuesday, Mike Vrabel was asked about Kraft, who has been eligible for the Hall the past 14 years, not making it in his first year as a finalist.

“I would say that in my experiences with Robert, he’s more than deserving and he’ll be in the Hall of Fame. I’m not in charge of deciding when that happens,” Vrabel said. “I appreciate the relationship that I’ve had with him, and the success as a player and now as a coach. He’s done everything that we’ve needed, and provided the support that we’ve needed as a staff and as a team.”
The Patriots have won six Super Bowls under Kraft’s watch. Vrabel was part of the first three (2001, 2003, 2004).
The Kraft news comes on the heels of Bill Belichick, who won eight rings over his career, being snubbed his first year of eligibility.
Vrabel said he’s glad Kraft has been supportive, and believes he’ll ultimately get in.

“I’m glad that he’s back here continuing to help us do things that will help the team win,” Vrabel said, “and ultimately allow him to be recognized.”
