Mike Vrabel and Tom Brady traded some fun trash talk during a joint practice between their teams on Wednesday that Vrabel seems to be relishing.
Vrabel’s Tennessee Titans and Brady’s New England Patriots are set to play on Saturday in a preseason game. They held a joint practice to benefit both teams ahead of the game.
Vrabel, who was teammates with Brady on the Patriots from 2001-2008, jokingly razzed the quarterback for walking onto the field (beware: the video does include profanity).

Brady apparently gave it right back to Vrabel with some trash talk during their joint practice. Vrabel was asked about it by a reporter and shared how much he enjoyed the exchanges.
“It was fun. It brought back a lot of memories, just to be able to sit out there and they make a play and he turns around and says, ‘Mikey, you better cover that.’ It’s a lot of fun. We have a lot of respect for those guys and we can learn a lot from the way they practice and the way they operate,” Vrabel said of the Patriots.

Brady has been around so long that he and Vrabel won the 2001 Super Bowl as teammates. Vrabel embarked on a coaching career after retiring following the 2010 season, and he has ascended to a head coaching position. All the while Brady is still playing and just won another Super Bowl. That truly is remarkable.
