The New England Patriots could not be more excited to have Mike Vrabel leading the way. After making the coaching change to begin the offseason, the outlook for young quarterback Drake Maye is looking brighter as well.

Springer’s assistant, Tom Quinn, will be back in Foxborough, too. It’s not terribly surprising given Quinn was one of Mike Vrabel’s special teams coaches with the Titans, but his return hadn’t been reported until the Patriots coach revealed it on WBZ. Quinn joined New England’s staff last season.

A coaching journey he needed to take, and the former star linebacker uniquely suited to put a faltering franchise back on track.
