Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel had a little fun with New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady.
Prior to the start of the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots joint practice on Wednesday, Titans head coach and former Patriot, Mike Vrabel, had a little fun with his old teammate, quarterback Tom Brady.
As Brady made his way onto the practice field for Wednesday’s session, Vrabel was quick to notice that the future Hall of Fame signal-caller was slowly walking out to his spot.
Vrabel wasn’t ready to let that slide, but Brady wasn’t ready to take the playful verbal lashing from Vrabel, either (Warning: NSFW).

Here’s another angle.

After winning six Super Bowl rings during his career, Brady could take a golf cart out to the practice field and nobody would care.
Of course, these two have known each other for a long time, so just a little friendly back-and-forth between Vrabel and Brady here. Shortly after the hilarious exchange, Brady and Vrabel were seen talking to each other on the field.

The ageless Tom Brady just turned 42 this month. To put into perspective just how amazing it is that he’s still playing, the Titans head coach just turned 44 himself on Wednesday and hasn’t played in the league since 2010.
The Titans and Patriots are set for two joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday. The two teams will then meet on Saturday night in Nashville for the second preseason game of the year for both.
These two squads met in Week 10 of 2018, with the Titans earning a blowout win over the eventual Super Bowl champion Patriots, 34-10. It was a loss that the Patriots haven’t forgotten, despite their eventual successful end to the season.
Practicing and playing against the Pats is a great opportunity for the Titans. After all, there isn’t a better situation to get some meaningful reps in than against the Super Bowl champs.
