May 19—Plenty of memories were conjured up this week as Vince Wilfork earned the vote of New England football fans to be the next inductee to the Patriots Hall of Fame.
Wilfork was an absolute menace, a five-time Pro Bowler and two-time Super Bowl champ.
Wilfork is a legendary person as well as a transcendent athlete. Late colleague Michael Muldoon would first want me to point out that Wilfork threw the shot an unbelievable 68 feet at Santaluces Community High School in Boynton Beach, Fla.
As much of a pleasure as it was to watch Wilfork dominate on the field or to talk football with him in the locker room, it was during the week leading up to Super Bowl 49 in Phoenix that my favorite Wilfork moment occurred.
