15-year-old Jayden did not know how much longer he would have after Mike Vrabel first visited him at the hospital.

A couple months after a miraculous recovery, Jayden reunited with Mike at Gillette Stadium.

  5. I want a Vrable hug. Happy for this kid! In an ever darkening world full of doom and gloom we need more headlines like this

  8. Vrabel is just a good dude, there’s no denying that fact. Couldn’t be happier to have him back here as HC

  9. I’m a Dolphins fan. But I really like Vrable both as a coach and a person. You guys hit the jackpot (again) with Vrable and Maye.

  12. Man… after 20+ years of Bill Belichick it’s strange to imagine a Patriots coach giving someone a hug!

  13. It’s well known Vrabel is a good man. I am thrilled we get to call him our football coach.

  14. This is awesome! I love reading about players and coaches using their celebrity/platform to do good deeds like this. It’s such a good use of their position in their communities and it can do so much good for people who can really use all the breaks and good vibes they can get. And, of course, it never hurts to cultivate some good karma.

    Also, does anyone know what illness the kid has/had? Maybe I missed it somewhere, but all I see mentioned is that he had an illness and then a subsequent miraculous recovery. I’m just curious.

  16. It’s nice having a coach that is a likeable person, and not one we accept simply because he was born on the gridiron. I will always appreciate Bill, but man this era is starting a nice reprieve.

  19. I’m just glad the little dude’s fine. Six wins seems like a good bonus compared to that.
