Going head-to-head at training camp is nothing new for Tom Brady and Mike Vrabel. After all, the pair were teammates with the New England Patriots for eight seasons during the 2000s, with Brady guiding the offense from behind center and Vrabel serving as his team's emotional leader on the other side of the ball. They're in for a slight change to that previous norm later this week, though, when Brady and the Patriots visit Vrabel's Tennessee Titans for a pair of joint practices in Nashville.

Asked on Monday about his relationship with Brady, the Titans' head coach made clear he's looking forward to taking the field with him again.

“I've seen Tom kind of grow up, and he's still a great friend,” Vrabel said, per Turron Davenport of ESPN. “I'll enjoy being on the same practice field with him, albeit not as a player, but to be able to watch him operate and hopefully learn some stuff from what they're doing. He certainly has had a fantastic career – I think that's obvious. It'll just be fun to be able to compete with him on the same field and see where that goes.”

Brady and Vrabel won three Super Bowl rings during their time together with the Patriots, missing out on a fourth and an undefeated season by losing to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII.

Brady, of course, further staked his claim as the best quarterback of all time in 2018, leading New England to its sixth Super Bowl victory. Vrabel retired in 2010 and quickly pivoted to coaching, ascending to the role of Tennessee's head coach last season.
