The New England Patriots finally announced this year’s Hall of Fame member, with a popular player getting the call on Tuesday.
Former defensive tackle, Vince Wilfork, saw his name be selected, which will see him become the 32nd member of the Patriots Hall of Fame.
This was Wilfork’s first year of eligibility, joining Drew Bledsoe (2011), Troy Brown (2012), Tedy Bruschi (2013), Ty Law (2014), and Kevin Faulk (2016) as just the sixth player to be inducted during his first year on the ballot.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft released a statement, with Kraft discussing Wilfork’s contributions and what he meant to his team during his playing days here in New England.
