I don't like vrabes. “He'll take notes and have me do all these uncomfortable things as a rookie. As I was old and learning, he raised me and prepared me for moments like these. ”
The five 1,000-yard receivers will play in Super Bowl 2025. This is his second time in three years with the Eagles after he was traded against Vrabel's wishes.
Vrabel recently spoke enthusiastically about Brown's development, adding that when asked if the Patriots might try to trade for him, “We'll see.”

The Eagles lost to Chief 38-35.
Sirianni may have another open forum before playing against the Chiefs at Super Bowl 2025 this Saturday night.

The whole conversation is about how much they mean each other, how they play for each other, and what they do. It was when I got up there, just talking about all the different things.
“Again, it's not the best individual group that wins, it's the best team. So it's a good moment for our team and we'll see how it unfolds. And a lot of things. Remember, I remember that many different people are talking, and that makes a lot of sense and we probably try to replicate it.”
