$58 Million Patriots DB Highlights Shift Under Mike Vrabel
Patriots safety Kyle Dugger recently opened up about the impact Mike Vrabel has had since taking over as head coach in January.
Vrabel’s influence isn’t limited to reshaping the roster—though he’s certainly been busy in that department. He’s also focused on fostering relationships and establishing strong connections with his players beyond the playbook.
“He’s definitely left his mark on the organization,” Dugger told reporters. “He’s really invested in getting to know us personally and laying that groundwork both on and off the field.”
Dugger is aiming for a strong comeback after dealing with injuries and inconsistent performances last season.
In 13 games, he recorded 81 total tackles, four pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a sack. With a bolstered defense and a more seasoned coaching staff, expectations are high for Dugger to return to top form in 2025.
If healthy, Dugger is poised to be a key figure in what could be one of the league’s premier defensive units.
