FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — His numbers don’t leap off the page. They never do.
Yet as he has done throughout his entire nine-year career in New England, Vince Wilfork is leaving an unmistakable imprint all over the Patriots this season.
The only defensive player still on the roster from any of New England’s championship teams is once again living up to the billing as one of the best nose tackles in the league. Wilfork is a stalwart force in the center of the Patriots’ defensive line who’s been instrumental in their much-improved rushing defense.
