New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel addressed reporters at the 2026 NFL Draft after new kissing photos with sports reporter Dianna Russini emerged. The photos were published by Page Six and were taken at a New York City bar six years ago. Mike, who was married to wife Jen at the time of the incident, announced a temporary leave of absence from the team and has committed to seeking counseling. While he will be in contact with the Patriots staff, he will not be present for the NFL draft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, over the weekend. The New England Patriots have expressed support for Vrab's decision to prioritize his family first.
