Ex-Tennessee Titans head coach and current Cleveland Browns consultant Mike Vrabel looks very happy being home.  He is a native Ohioan who has played or coached for five teams during his NFL career, but he has never been with the Browns. Vrabel has turned out to be a very hands-on consultant, active on the field particularly with the defensive players both in minicamp and at the start of training camp.

Part of his daily activity is a race with backup quarterback Jameis Winston.  48-year-old Vrabel proves that he still has wheels as he challenges Winston at the onset, but Winston ultimately pulls away for the win.

It is not clear if this is a casual thing or a competitive challenge that Vrabel and Winston are tallying wins and losses throughout camp.  Professional athletes are competitive people so we suspect the latter could be the case.
