Former New England Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame on Wednesday. He is the 34th member of the organization to be inducted.
Vrabel had a successful career with New England. He played for eight years with the Patriots and started in 110 of 125 games played. He tallied 606 combined tackles and 48 sacks.
Vrabel also made his only Pro Bowl with New England in 2007. He was selected to the All-Pro First-Team as well. That year, he recorded 77 tackles and 12.5 sacks on the season.
Vrabel will join former Patriots assistant coach Dante Scarnecchia as part of the 2023 class. He is the eighth player to enter the team’s Hall of Fame as a three-time Super Bowl champion.

It seems like only yesterday Vrabel was playing in a Patriots uniform—and occasionally catching touchdown passes as well. Now, he is getting his due by being permanently enshrined in the franchise’s Hall of Fame.
