Mike Vrabel has been showered with accolades and praise in his first year as head coach of the New England Patriots. Taking over a four-win team and leading it to a Super Bowl appearance does that to you.

Milton Williams became the highest-paid player in Patriots history last March after winning it all with the Eagles.

The Patriots wound up with 11 picks due to draft-day trades by Wolf. They added Jared Wilson (13 starts at left guard), Craig Woodson (15 starts at safety) and kicker Andy Borregales (84.4 percent on field goals) in the middle rounds.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye endeared himself to fans even more with his latest comments about his wife.

In New England, Patriots fans remember Sam Darnold for his woeful performances as a Jet. He was the guy who completed 11 of 32 passes with four interceptions in a 33-0 loss to New England in 2019. That was back when the Belichick Patriots were still good and the Jets were every bit as bad as they always are.

Super Bowl LX will feature the AFC champion New England Patriots taking on the NFC-winning Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Like many NFL fans, Williams was tired of seeing the Patriots win repeatedly during the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady era.
