AJ Brown reuniting with Mike Vrabel after five years is off to an interesting start.
Following months of rumors, the Philadelphia Eagles finally decided to trade AJ Brown to the New England Patriots.
Speaking of the move, Mike Vrabel, being the current head coach of the Patriots, played a major role in convincing Brown to make the move.
The two have been reunited for the first time since their Tennessee Titans days, and their first day of training led to an interesting interaction.
AJ Brown loved Mike Vrabel ‘ripping’ him on first day of training
Ahead of the NFL season, teams’ training camps are already underway, giving new players a chance to get used to the change.
Even though Brown has already been coached by Vrabel in the past, it may still take some time to get used to it again with the Patriots, or that’s what fans assumed.
After all, Brown’s revelation about Vrabel chewing his head on Day 1 of training camp shows that the two are loving their reunion.
“It’s great, man. The first day, I almost brought in a pass on Gonzo [CB Christian Gonzalez]. And first team meet, he ripped me up.
“And you know, I was just over there smiling. I was like, ‘Man, I love it, man.’ I miss his crazy self,” Brown said.
He added, “And it’s good though, because it’s the expectation when you come on the field, and you expect me to make those plays.”
Many NFL players would take offense to their coaches giving them an earful, but Brown loves it as the Patriots hope to repeat last year’s success, but win the Super Bowl this time.
