New England Patriots guard Layden Robinson is eagerly anticipating Mike Vrabel’s vision being realized on the football field. That vision is the Patriots returning to a competitive state and winning more than four games in a season.
The Patriots’ offensive lineman recently appeared at a youth football camp held by his former college teammate Ainias Smith. When asked about the Vrabel experience up to this point, Robinson admitted it’s been fun having a coach who “holds everybody accountable”.

“It’s so fun, the energy that he brings to the team and just how he holds everybody accountable and just that he wants to turn everything around and he wants our team to be great,” said Robinson, per KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson. “Just having a coach like that with all the energy he has and what he wants to pour into the team, he’s leading by example too. I’d say that’s just been the best part just being there and seeing that and I can’t wait to see everything turn around for good.”
Robinson played in 13 games and started in 11 games last season. The right guard position currently appears to be locked up by Mike Onwenu. So Robinson might work in as a backup or compete for the vacant left guard spot during training camp.
He’ll be faced with more competition this time around after the Patriots made multiple upgrades along the offensive front. However, if anyone can get the most out of a second-year player like Robinson, it would be Vrabel and his all-star coaching staff.
