New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is seeking counseling and will not attend Day 3 of the NFL Draft after photos of him with NFL reporter Dianna Russini at an Arizona resort were published. Vrabel stated that he wants to be the best version of himself for his family and team, and believes counseling will help him achieve that. The photos were taken before the NFL meetings in Phoenix, and the NFL is not investigating Vrabel’s behavior. Both Vrabel and Russini, who are married, downplayed the photos’ significance, but Russini resigned from The Athletic following an internal investigation. Vrabel addressed the situation with his players and emphasized that he did not want the incident to overshadow the NFL draft.
