Legendary former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski believes that the New England Patriots can make some noise this season under new head coach Mike Vrabel.
The team has made sweeping roster and coaching personnel changes since Vrabel’s arrival in New England. It usually takes a while before the effects of a rebuild are truly felt, but Gronkowksi doesn’t think it’ll take long for Vrabel’s vision to make a profound impact on the Patriots.

He offered a bold prediction in an interview with “Bussin’ with the Boys”.
“I think that’s the perfect fit for New England overall,” Gronkowski said on the Patriots hiring Vrabel. “…You can’t really argue with any of the moves that they have made so far. I think they have made every move correctly with the draft with who they took, all the way to free agency. They had all of that money. They went and got the guys they needed to get for the positions they needed to get. …I’m going on record to say that they’re making the playoffs this year.”
The Patriots have improved at every level on defense for the 2025 season. They have also added more receiving weapons, a home run running back threat and multiple offensive linemen to spark the struggling offense.

On paper, Vrabel has done everything needed to give the Patriots a fighting chance in 2025. That’s the best anyone could hope for with a team that finished 4-13 last season.
