Linebacker Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots catches a two-yard touchdown pass.

Mike Vrabel has led the New England Patriots to Super Bowl 60 in his first year as coach of the team. Vrabel played with the Patriots — Pittsburgh Steelers, and Kansas City Chiefs — during an NFL career that spanned 14 years. He was a three-time Super Bowl winner as a linebacker. Possibly the most amazing stat of his career comes from the offensive side of the football. Vrabel caught 10 passes in his career and each went for a touchdown. He was targeted 14 times, but nobody is perfect. The 10 touchdown catches went for a total of 14 yards. That’s 60 points in receptions that gained all of 14 yards.
