Mike Vrabel shuts down Jabrill Peppers with a Hall of Fame flex as he brings hands-on intensity to Patriots training camp.

When the New England Patriots hired Mike Vrabel to be their head coach, they knew they were getting a no-nonsense leader who wouldn't tolerate any shenanigans.

For his pre-practice press conference prior to the team’s first official day of training camp, Vrabel strode to the microphone on Wednesday with a puppy named Nash clutched under his arm. It’s part of the team’s second Pet Adoption Day (sponsored by the Kraft family via The Patriots Foundation in coordination with local animal shelters).
