Rhamondre Stevenson details how Mike Vrabel and Patriots coaches helped him through difficult time
FOXBOROUGH - Rhamondre Stevenson missed some of the Patriots voluntary workouts the last few months due to the loss of his father, Robert, who passed away in March at the age of 54.
Stevenson, now back with the team, spoke with the media for the first time since returning following the workout, and talked about how much Mike Vrabel and the coaching staff have helped him through the grieving process.

Vrabel had indicated a few weeks ago that he had been in communication with Stevenson daily.
What did it mean to the back?
'I'm going to keep the dialogue to myself, but it meant a lot,' Stevenson said. 'Just the whole coaching staff, them being new, and still having my back, checking in on me.'
Stevenson also indicated running back coach Tony Dews even flew out to Las Vegas, where he grew up, to spend time with him.
'All of that means a lot to me. It meant a lot to my family,' Stevenson said. 'And, I loved it.'
Stevenson said he had met Dews - who was with the Titans then back in 2021 - during the draft process.

'Great guy, great coach,' Stevenson said. 'He coached some good backs, and I'm ready to learn from him.'
At this stage, Stevenson said that given he's a little behind, he's just trying to get back into shape and be ready for camp.
Although, he made arguably the play of the day on Monday, making a highlight reel catch down the sideline on a Drake Maye pass.
