This is a great article on WW and what he means to the Patriots plus the NFL as a whole.
Steve Solloway: Looking up to little tough man | The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram
I'm not claiming to be a football expert but I watch a ton of games for multiple decades and IMO WW is the toughest player in the NFL. He is 185lbs man who takes brutal hits week in and week out. I see him walking back to the huddles on some plays and feel bad for him.
WW is one of those few players that I'd be ok with the Patriots overpaying for. We need to lock him up. We paid close to $100 million to 2 men who are 260lbs plus each in AH and Gronk but yet the 185lb man we have not yet extended played in more games than the two of them combined this year.(This is not a knock on AH or Gronk)
