Patriots' Mike Vrabel to Seek Counseling, Miss Third Day of NFL Draft
Vrabel said he will begin counseling and skip Saturday’s draft rounds as the Patriots hold eight picks and seek to avoid distractions.
- New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel will miss Saturday's third day of the NFL Draft to seek counseling following the publication of photos showing him with NFL reporter Dianna Russini at an Arizona resort.
- Photos of Vrabel and Russini at a Sedona resort surfaced earlier this month, prompting Russini to resign from The Athletic after an internal investigation at the sports outlet.
- The Patriots hold eight selections on Saturday, including four in the sixth round, as Vrabel previously stated his focus remains on the draft despite recent developments.
- Addressing reporters Tuesday, Vrabel said, "I have always wanted to lead by example," pledging to provide the best version of himself to his family and organization.
- The NFL confirmed last weekend it is not investigating Vrabel's behavior, and the coach promises stronger resolve as he returns with commitment to team success.
