After a controversial start to the offseason that saw Mike Vrabel the subject of headlines for things other than football, the Patriots coach says he’s enjoying keeping his focus on the field.
“We all have to deal with things outside of here. And my focus and, obviously, the excitement I have for coaching is what is most important right now,” Vrabel said Wednesday in his first public comments to reporters since fulfilling his pledge to be away from the team on the final day of the NFL draft last month to begin counseling after photos were published of him with longtime NFL reporter Dianna Russini at an Arizona resort.
