Finding his niche at outside linebacker, Vrabel rarely leaves the field and covers it with the sole purpose of causing havoc. Vrabel was invaluable in the playoffs, with a sack and forced fumble against the Colts, a fumble recovery against the Steelers, and a momentum-turning red zone sack in the Super Bowl that led to an Eagles turnover. Moonlighting as a tight end, Vrabel has five career receptions — all for TDs, two in Super Bowls.
