Vince Wilfork is now a part of the Texans, but don’t think that there’s any bad blood between the two sides. After it was announced that Wilfork had signed with the Texans, Patriots coach Bill Belichick released a statement to honor his time spent coaching Wilfork and boldly stated that Wilfork was the best at his position that he has coached in his 40 years in the NFL.
“Few players reached or will ever reach the special level of Vince Wilfork. He is a great champion and one of the classiest people I have ever been around – just a kind, genuine and giving person who was all about our team, football, winning and bringing joy to others. There may have never been anyone at his position with as much strength, toughness, intelligence, instinctiveness and athleticism. He is the best defensive linemen I ever coached, an all-time great Patriot whose place on our team will be missed but whose remarkable career as a Patriot will be remembered forever.”
