EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — It started, where it always does for the Patriots, with the big man in the middle.
Vince Wilfork may never be the flashiest player. He doesn’t get a chance that often to deliver a highlight-reel hit (though when he delivers, look out). And he will never have gaudy numbers like sacks or tackles for loss.

When friends ask me which Patriot player I would like to meet and talk to my response over the past several years has always been Vince. I watched an interview last year that included his wife and it struck me that a man who plays which such power in a violent game could be so friendly, warm hearted and humble. The Pats are fortunate to have him and I'm certain no one knows this more than Tom Brady.
