NFL social media star Annie Agar knows how to make waves both on and off the field. The influencer, who boasts a combined 1.7 million followers across Instagram and TikTok, recently dropped a swimsuit photo that had fans doing a double take—not just for the look, but for the not-so-subtle jab at New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.
In the snapshot, Agar is soaking up the sun in a stylish swimsuit, but it was the caption that stole the spotlight: “Solo travel is the best. Mike Vrabel should try it sometime.” That line is a clear reference to Vrabel’s reported hotel rendezvous with former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini. Though both parties denied any impropriety, Page Six published photos from March 2020 showing the pair getting cozy at Tribeca Tavern in New York City, including what appeared to be a kiss.
Agar, a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan, is famous for her hilarious skits where she impersonates multiple NFL teams on a single Zoom call. She often roasts the NFC North, but this time she took aim at a head coach caught in a personal storm. Her post is a playful yet pointed reminder that even the biggest names aren’t safe from her sharp wit.
This isn’t the first time a social media personality has stirred the pot with a swimsuit post. Victoria’s Secret star Nicola Cavanis ignited Instagram in a tiny black swimsuit, proving that a bold photo can spark conversation. And Bill Belichick’s 25-year-old girlfriend fired back at NFL media over the Vrabel-Russini drama, showing the story has many layers.
The Patriots organization has stood firmly behind Vrabel. In a statement released before the NFL Draft, the team said, “The New England Patriots fully support Mike Vrabel’s decision to prioritize his family first, as well as his own well-being. Mike has been open with us about his commitment to being the best version of himself for his family, this team and our fans, and we respect the steps he is taking to follow through on that commitment.”
Vrabel, who led the Patriots to a 14-3 record and a Super Bowl appearance last season, remains at the helm. The controversy hasn’t shaken the team’s confidence in him, and he’s expected to continue coaching without interruption.
Meanwhile, Agar’s post has reignited chatter about the off-field drama. It’s a classic move from an influencer who knows how to keep the NFL conversation buzzing, blending humor with a touch of heat. As the offseason rolls on, fans can expect more from Agar—and probably a few more pointed captions.
