Wilfork Signs With Houston, Brady and Belichick Say Their Goodbyes

Shortly after Vince Wilfork signed with the Houston Texans yesterday, Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick shared their heartfelt goodbyes.

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.

Impressive words from the greatest coach of all time. Being the "best defensive linemen" that Belichick has ever coached is not something you take lightly. Tom Brady, being the social media maven that he is, shared his sentiments on Facebook:

Big Vince responded to Brady's post in the most Vince Wilfork way possible...

One of the all time greatest players in Patriots history and, in my opinion, is in the top 10 greatest Boston athletes of all time.
