New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel sent a clear message to budding star defensive tackle Milton Williams during the first week of workouts.

He wants me to go fast and empty the tank every rep,” Williams said. “I like that. ... Calling me out is going to help the other guys."

During the Patriots voluntary offseason program, Vrabel sent a message to the new defensive tackle: "He let me know, like, ‘Hey, if you’re going to be here, you need to set the standard," Williams said.
