Review of ex-NFL reporter Dianna Russini's work at the Athletic concludes she didn't comply with standards

An internal investigation by The Athletic concluded that former NFL reporter Dianna Russini violated journalistic standards due to her relationship with New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel. This finding led to Russini's resignation in April. While the report did not specify the nature of their relationship, photos of the pair at an Arizona resort were published. Mike Vrabel took accountability for his actions, briefly stepping away from the team for counseling during the NFL draft before returning shortly after.
