New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel will miss Day Three of the NFL Draft in order to have counselling.
Mike Vrabel has shared that he will miss Day Three of the NFL Draft and said: “As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them. In order to do so, I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend.”
Mike Vrabel went on to add that “This is something that I have given a lot of thought to and is something I would advise a player to do if I was counseling them.I have always wanted to lead by example, and I believe this is what I have to do to be the best husband, father and coach that I possibly can be. This is not an easy thing for me to admit, but it is one that I know will make me a better person. I appreciate the support that everyone has given me and promise a stronger resolve as a result."
He also thanked everyone at a recent press conference and said: “ Thank you for your patience that you've shown in a personal and private matter for me and obviously everybody involved.”
"I know that that's not easy for you and I respect that and I appreciate your efforts in doing so.
"I understand I could have addressed you guys sooner, but it was important to me to have a conversation with the players, which I did yesterday very candidly as we began our off season program, which everyone is excited to be a part of.
"It was never my intention to have them speak to you, or address you before I did. And so I asked them to come today and talk with you.
"I also don't want to take away from the weekend of the draft. This is an important time for us, our organization, and the excitement and the joy that those players are gonna have that we bring onto our football team.
“They're starting an amazing journey, one that should be celebrated as we welcome them onto our team.
"With that being said, I've had some difficult conversations with people that I care about, with my family, the organization, the coaches, the players, those have been positive and productive.
"We believe in order to be successful on and off the field, you have to make good decisions. That includes me. That starts with me.
"And those are comments and questions that I've answered for the team and with the team, we'll keep those private and to ourselves.
"I care deeply about this football team, and I'm excited to coach them. I also know that I'm gonna attack each day with humility and focus.
"What I can promise you is that my family, this organization, the team, the staff, the coaches, everybody, our fans most importantly, will get the best
"That's what I know, and I'm excited to do that. I wanted to just address this and thank you for your patience in dealing with the private and personal matter."
In reaction to Mike Vrabel seeking counselling, the New England Patriots said: “The New England Patriots fully support Mike Vrabel’s decision to prioritize his family first, as well as his own well-being. Mike has been open with us about his commitment to being the best version of himself for his family, this team and our fans, and we respect the steps he is taking to follow through on that commitment.”
Earlier this month New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel responded to photos published that appear to show him and the then New York Times NFL reporter Dianna Russini with their fingers interlocked at the Ambiente resort in Sedona, Arizona.
Mike Vrabel told Page Six that “These photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable. This doesn’t deserve any further response.”
On April 16, Dianna Russini resigned from her post and said in a statement that "I have covered the NFL with professionalism and dedication throughout my career, and I stand behind every story I have ever published.”
