Mike Vrabel's first offseason as head coach of the New England Patriots is in full swing, as the Pats are well represented at this week's Senior Bowl in Alabama.
Josh McDaniels is back for a third tour of duty as the Patriots' offensive coordinator, but there are a couple of big differences from his first two stints in New England.
New offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels could use a talented option to help Maye and the passing attack. However, in Blake Brockermeyer's latest mock draft for CBS Sports, the Patriots turn to the best player available in Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter.
Vrabel has a mix of experience and youth on his Patriots coaching staff, including Doug Marrone, Thomas Brown and Ashton Grant on offense.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is clearly a fan of the way Josh McDaniels sees the game. It's for that reason that he hired him to return for a third stint as offensive coordinator for the Patriots.
Mike Vrabel joined the Patriots as head coach in a throwback to the Bill Belichick era. But his tenure won't involve Belichick's son, Brian.
Brian Belichick, the son of legendary ex-Patriots coach Bill Belichick, is departing the team after serving as the safeties coach for the past five years, multiple reports said Tuesday, as new head coach Mike Vrabel builds his staff.
Mike Vrabel interviewed with the Jets, but there was another team also looming to pursue him before the Patriots hired him.
Speaking on his podcast with Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski relayed a time where Mike Vrabel "outplayed" Bill Belichick as head coach.
On Monday, Vrabel made a number of key hires to add some experience and pedigree to his coaching staff. Former Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone is joining Vrabel's staff, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Marrone most recently served as the offensive line coach for the New Orleans Saints in 2023.
