Christian Gonzalez makes strong statement on Mike Vrabel amid fallout
Patriots star cornerback Christian Gonzalez made it clear that he is standing with Coach Mike Vrabel amid controversy.
Star cornerback Christian Gonzalez is standing firmly behind New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel amid the controversy involving Dianna Russini, a former reporter at The Athletic. Russini resigned from her position after photos leaked of her with Vrabel at a luxury resort in Arizona. Despite both being married, the two were seemingly caught holding hands and embracing.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that Vrabel isn't facing punishment . He chalked the entire ordeal up as a "personal matter" and said he'd rather leave it at that. Vrabel revealed that he had a conversation with the team, but he did not divulge any further details.
When asked about the situation, Gonzalez strongly backed his head coach. “We ain’t gon’ speak on what we talked about inside the building," said Gonzalez . "But I mean, that’s my coach.
That’s who I go out there and play for. He’s proven to what he can do as a coach. That’s my guy, and I ride behind Vrabes any time of the day.
