Mike Vrabel Has High Praise for AJ Brown's Leadership
Mike Vrabel was wide receiver AJ Brown's head coach through three seasons with the Tennessee Titans in 2019-21.
Mike Vrabel, who served as the head coach for AJ Brown during his time with the Tennessee Titans from 2019 to 2021, is now praising Brown's leadership as the duo reunites with the New England Patriots for the 2026 season. Brown was traded to the Patriots earlier this offseason, following a four-year stint with the Philadelphia Eagles.
During a joint practice between the Patriots and Eagles, Vrabel commented on Brown's maturity and overall growth since joining the Patriots. He highlighted Brown's ability to communicate effectively with coaches and teammates, as well as his accountability and desire to contribute to the entire offense. Brown is set to be the primary wide receiver for quarterback Drake Maye, who led the Patriots to a Super Bowl appearance last year.
The Patriots will kick off their 2026 regular season with a Week 1 rematch against the Seattle Seahawks on September 9.
