Former New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork was announced into the team’s Hall of Fame on Tuesday. Congratulations poured in from all corners of the organization.
Tom Brady was among the many who sent congratulatory wishes. Brady and Wilfork were teammates for the majority of the tackle’s career. The two joined forces from 2004-2014 and were able to win two Super Bowls together as a result.
Wilfork went on to play for 13 seasons, last playing for the Houston Texans in 2016. In addition to the Super Bowls he won with New England, he also was a five-time Pro Bowl selection.
Brady added a comment on the team’s Instagram post: “Amazing teammate and friend and always did things his way.”
With Wilfork’s nomination to the Hall of Fame, another key Patriots contributor is immortalized forever.
