Lowdown - Three reasons why the Patriots win this game? Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, Skylar Thompson. That currently represents the Steelers depth chart at quarterback. No need to say more. Prediction/Record - Win, 2-1.

Bill Belichick arrived fashionably late to the Atlantic Coast Conference's spring meetings at a beachside resort in Amelia Island.

The 2024 season was the first since 2000 that Bill Belichick wasn't the New England Patriots head coach and 2024 No. 3 pick Drake Maye was starting his NFL career. After a second consecutive 4-13 season and another dismissal at head coach, the Patriots will have a significantly different look and some increased hope for 2025 and beyond.

Only, Mike Vrabel had other ideas. The Patriots coach blocked out a spot on the team calendar for the players, coaches and football staff to head out and participate in community events throughout Greater Boston.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel indicated that rookie interior offensive lineman Jared Wilson will play at center during rookie minicamp. However, Vrabel expects all interior players to know how to play all three spots.

He wants me to go fast and empty the tank every rep,” Williams said. “I like that. ... Calling me out is going to help the other guys."

Back in 2022, Vrabel explained he started calling Gibbens ‘Dr. Gibby’ because of how smart he is and how quickly he picked up the Titans defensive scheme. Now in New England, Gibbens said Vrabel is back to using the nickname.

Like the Raiders, the Patriots also have a new coaching staff in place. After firing Jerod Mayo after just one season, New England hired former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, who was a star linebacker for the franchise in the 2000s.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel announced on Friday that defensive coordinator Terrell Williams has been dealing with a medical situation that has kept him away from the team.
