New Patriots coach Mike Vrabel's coaching staff will have several familiar faces from his time with the Tennessee Titans. Of the 26 members of the staff announced by New England on Wednesday, 11 worked with Vrabel during his six-year tenure in Tennessee from 2018 to 2023.

The Patriots filled out the masthead of its coaching staff with a well-seasoned group that has deep roots across the NFL.

Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez played his first season under Bill Belichick. He played his second season under Jerod Mayo. He will play his third season under Mike Vrabel. Gonzalez said things changed inside the building from 2023 to 2024.
