On Wednesday, former New England Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork officially called it a career, signing a ceremonial one-day contact with the team making him “a Patriot for life” according to owner Robert Kraft.
Many of Wilfork’s old teammates paid tribute to him with emotional social media postings wishing him well into the next chapter of his life.
