New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel had a hilarious joke when asked about Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.
Vrabel and Kingsbury were teammates in 2003. The former NFL linebacker was in his third season with New England, while Kingsbury was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round out of Texas Tech. The quarterback spent his rookie season on injured reserve, but he still got a ring from the team's win over the Carolina Panthers at Super Bowl XXXVIII.
Vrabel and Kingsbury had a reunion of sorts when the offensive coach arrived in Foxborough for a joint training camp practice between the Commanders and Patriots on Wednesday.
"He wasn't better than Tom Brady," Vrabel said, when asked what he remembered about Kingsbury as a player.

Kingsbury, the former Arizona Cardinals head coach, got the last laugh when the two last faced off as coaches.
The Cardinals beat the Tennessee Titans back in October 2021 by a 38-13 margin. So Vrabel could be looking for a little payback, even in an exhibition game setting.
