Former New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork will take the next step in his potential Hall of Fame career as a Houston Texan, according to Wilfork’s Twitter account. 

“This has been an interesting process for me and my family, one we have taken very seriously and given a lot of thought. We want to thank the Kraft family and entire Patriot organization for the last 11 years, however we will be starting a new chapter in our lives as Houston Texans. The coaching staff in Houston has made this exciting new transition feel like home to us. We will forever be Patriots in our hearts, thank you everyone for everything.”

Wilfork should be a rotational player on Houston’s defensive line playing next to the great J.J. Watt.
