New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel did not attend the team's pre-draft press conference, which was instead led by Eliot Wolf, the vice president of player personnel. During the session, Wolf was asked about Vrabel's involvement in the team's draft preparations. He affirmed that Vrabel has been 'very involved,' noting that his participation in meetings has increased compared to the previous year. This comes amid controversy surrounding the release of photos that have led to speculation about Vrabel's relationship with NFL reporter Dianna Russini. While Vrabel is not expected to speak with the media until after the draft, it remains to be seen whether questions will shift from football to the recent media attention.
