Patriots coach Mike Vrabel held his first press conference of 2026 training camp, where he sidestepped questions regarding the preference for real grass versus artificial turf. While expressing a desire for his team to adapt to any conditions, he refrained from commenting on the players' overwhelming preference for real grass.
