It doesn’t take an insider to see that Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel is demanding and can be tough on his players on a daily basis.
But on a recent episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Taylor Lewan, Will Compton and Kevin Byard talked about how Vrabel actually used to be tougher in his first season in 2018.
“He sucked the first year,” Compton said.
“Everybody hated Vrabes the first year, you could say it,” Lewan added. “He was so rough around the edges.”
Byard then recalled how Vrabel would do “lowlights” after each practice and Lewan in particular got destroyed by the head coach after the very first OTAs session because the former Pro Bowl left tackle started to showboat a bit following one play.
“Murdered me,” Lewan said of Vrabel calling him out.
Byard indicated that was one of the first moments where he realized that nobody was safe from criticism under Vrabel, regardless of how much a player makes or what type of previous accomplishments they may have.
