Vrabel Highlights 3 Patriots Standouts After Win Over Eagles

Summary
Three lesser-heralded Patriots — Kindle Vildor, Dametrious Crownover and Leonard Taylor III — drew special praise from Mike Vrabel after Saturday’s win over Philadelphia, potentially boosting their roles.
Vildor flashed in the secondary with three tackles, a near interception and multiple pass breakups, while Taylor added two tackles and hit Tanner McKee to force an incompletion on fourth-and-1.
Crownover’s showing may carry the most immediate roster impact: the rookie sixth-round tackle stepped in after Marcus Bryant was injured and, according to Vrabel, held up well.
That performance matters for New England’s depth chart, with Taylor already carrying playoff credibility from last season and Vildor having built momentum as a training-camp standout.
