Report: Vince Wilfork Addressed Patriots To Rebuild Confidence Monday

New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork typically leads by example, not speech.

The Patriots captain reportedly made an exception Monday night after an embarrassing 41-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Wilfork addressed the Patriots in the locker room, stressing that the season is still young, a league source told ProFootballTalk.

Wilfork, an 11th-year veteran, assured the Patriots that they have plenty of talent and good things can happen this season, according to PFT’s report. The veteran All-Pro had a similar message to the media after the game.

Wilfork restructured his contract to stay with the Patriots after rupturing his Achilles tendon last season.
