A.J. Brown credits Mike Vrabel's tough love for his NFL success

New Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown is excited to reunite with head coach Mike Vrabel. Brown recently reflected on his first three NFL seasons in Tennessee, admitting that while Vrabel was "extremely tough" on him, it was exactly what he needed to develop his game.

"He was trying to push me to become the player I am today," Brown explained, noting that Vrabel's constant accountability helped them grow close over the years.
