Keion White Praises Vrabel, Criticizes Mayo Regime

New England Patriots defensive end Keion White has voiced strong support for new head coach Mike Vrabel, praising Vrabel's work ethic, hands-on approach, and no-nonsense leadership style, which White compared to Bill Belichick but with a 'younger face.' White was openly critical of the previous head coach Jerod Mayo’s regime, stating he now feels he finally has a coach guiding him. Vrabel’s emphasis on accountability, particularly towards top players, and a team-first mentality has resonated well in the locker room and signaled a major cultural shift after the team's disappointing 4-13 season. White is optimistic about his role in the revamped defense, especially with the arrival of Milton Williams and the return of Christian Barmore. The combined coaching and roster changes are viewed as a catalyst for both White’s personal development and the Patriots’ potential turnaround. Vrabel’s leadership has sparked renewed optimism and accountability within the franchise.
