Wilfork Still Working Hard

NT Vince Wilfork was on the practice field for the second straight day, just two days after missing action while his wife gave birth to the couple's third child, David.

"The baby came out real, real healthy. My wife is doing fine. The kids are happy. I'm happy. I'm a little tired, but I can take this tired," Wilfork said with a proud smile. "Everything went well with the birth and a healthy baby boy. I'm looking forward to seeing him now.

"It's a beautiful thing to bring something in the world like that, and to be healthy. I thank my wife every day for it. She was the one that had to carry it. My job was easy. But we're excited. The family is excited about it."

The Pro Bowler then went on to joke that the youngster will be pushed toward the golf course rather than the football field later in life.

"No," Wilfork responded with a chuckle when asked if David, named after his grandfather, was a future nose tackle. "He's going to be a golfer. I'm going to start him early. Stay away from football."
