In the 104 days since his introductory press conference in January, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel has already accomplished what seemed like the impossible at season’s end. Arriving on the heels of back-to-back 4-13 seasons, and inheriting one of the worst rosters in the NFL, Vrabel has managed to flip the script in short order.

Mike Vrabel was convinced Will Campbell was the Patriots' guy when the left tackle took him out during a pre-draft workout.

Dependable. Accountable. A quick study. Vrabel called him an easy pick, one that became clear after the Patriots sent their top brass to work out Campbell last week on a trip to Louisiana. “We spent a lot of time with him,” Vrabel added.
