Leaked photos involving Dianna Russini may force New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel into addressing the controversy.
According to NBC Sports Boston reporter Michael Holley, an unnamed former player stated, “The hell they won’t want answers.”
Vrabel, who has been coaching the Patriots since last year, is at risk of damaging his reputation. The former player noted that coaches do not treat players as they are treated by the media.
Holley suggests Vrabel will have to address the matter with his team for credibility reasons.
In contrast, Patriots EVP of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf insists Vrabel remains deeply involved in the team’s business ahead of the NFL draft.
Russini resigned following an internal probe. She stated she refused to let the media frenzy define her or her career and that she has covered the NFL with professionalism and dedication throughout her career.
