Vince Wilfork takes turn in Tom Brady’s receiving corps

We know Vince Wilfork has pretty good hands. We know he’s pretty athletic. We know the receiving corps is pretty crowded. Might there still be room for a massive 350-pound wideout who can really bring some thunder it down the sideline?

”I’ve been running a couple of routes and look good out there,” Wilfork half-joked yesterday. ”Tom (Brady) gave me a couple of balls, (I) looked pretty good out there.”

That last part is no surprise. Wilfork looked pretty good picking off a pair of balls last season. Did he at least catch the balls Brady threw to him yesterday?”Absolutely I caught them,” Wilfork said. ”My drops are looking pretty good back in the backend, so I’m getting back to my old self. A couple more vertical routes by me and I think I’ll be ready to go.”

And what did the quarterback think of Big Vince running routes?

”He had two interceptions last year. That was close to leading our team. He’s got to start working on his run after catch,” Brady cracked. ”Maybe we can use him in goal-line situations like the Fridge. He’s a load, I’ll tell you that. He’s a hell of a player for this team.”
