Houston Texans linebackers coach Mike Vrabel wrote on Twitter Saturday that his three Super Bowl rings were stolen from his home.

Vrabel helped the Patriots win Super Bowls during the 2001-02, 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons.

Vrabel entered the NFL as a third-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1997 and spent 14 seasons with the Steelers, Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs.
