Wilfork Shows Up At Camp

"Nose tackles usually toil in anonymity, but Vince Wilfork was front and center yesterday after he ended his string of offseason absences by showing up for the first day of the Patriots' three-day mandatory minicamp as expected (Boston.com)."

Not going to write about this since it feel like I write about it everyday, but Wilfork did show up at camp today (as expected). Here are the comments he made...

"I love football," said Wilfork. "It's something mandatory. I signed a six-year deal. I'm going to meet all my obligations and that's being here for mandatory stuff. That's why I was here. It wasn't a big deal if I was going to show up or not. All this while, I knew where I kind of wanted to be. At the same time, I still had some uncertainty of what was going on, and do I really want to come out here? But at the end of the day, I felt it was best for me to come out here, and it's best for the organization to know that I am out here. At the end of the day, I'm still a Patriot and I want to be a Patriot (Boston.com)."

Basically this is exactly what you want to hear from him if you're a Patriots fan. I have no idea if they will be able to resign him, but for now it really doesn't matter. What does matter is the 2009 season and getting back on top. To do that they need all there players ready to go, and Wilfork sounds like he will be ready.
