Patriots coach Mike Vrabel has spoken out following a photo scandal involving him and former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini, where he and Russini were pictured holding hands at a luxury hotel in Arizona on April 7. The scandal has been overshadowed by allegations of impropriety, with both Vrab and Russino, who are married to other people. The photos were published a week after they were published, Russini resigned from The Athletic, ending her contract early. Despite the scandal, Vrabl has denied allegations of wrongdoing and focused on the upcoming NFL draft and his team.
