Remember the classic Abe Lincoln - JFK thing?

Well, on a much lower scale, one can make a case for a Wilfork-Brown thing:
Aside from Chiuba E. Obele's post #118 in the other thread showing Volin's retweet:

Vince Wilfork in college vs Malcolm Brown in college. #PatsDraft
It struck me that there are many other coincidences here:
1) Both born and raised in the deep South, had never been to New England before
2) Both married in college and adopted their wife's young child
3) Both drafted to fill a gaping need to fill at DT from previous veteran (Ted Washington - Vince Wilfork)
4) Both were unexpected to be around at the Patriots draft mark and fell inexplicably right into BB's hands. Everyone was shocked in 2004 when Big Vince did not go in the top-10.
5) Both drafted one year after BB spends a 1st rounder on a DE (Ty Warren- Dom Easley)
6) Both drafted after a SB winning season
I'm sure there are more, but that's at least pretty coincidental
