First of all, I said arguably. And yes, he is one of the best DTs to ever play the game. Do you not remember how dominant he was? Belichick built his entire 3-4 defense around Wilfork.

Argued by you, only.

I love Vince, don’t get me wrong. His squash on a FSU RB in the Orange Bowl is my second favorite hit in Canes history (to Barrow, of course). He loved to play the game and was a joy to watch in college and in the NFL.

I don’t like negging a Cane player but Vince wasn’t even voted to the 2000s or 2010s All-Decade team, voted on by the NFL HOF selection committee. He’s not even the best Canes DT put in the NFL. Sapp and Tez were Defensive Players of The Year, and HOFs. Jerome Brown (RIP) may have been even better. Definitely HOF had he not been taken from us far too early.

Ever hear of Mean Joe Green, Bob Lily, Buck Buchanan, Curly Culp, Randy White, Merlin Olsen, Dan Hampton, Alan Page, or John Randle? Maybe not, they played before 2000. Some before 1980.

Are you a Patriot fan? Someone posted here Rob Gronkowski was the most dominant player in NFL history, regardless of position.

Was that you?

And we're doing it with over 200 less players.

That's the same thing people don't consider when they try and compare Cali or Texas talent with Florida high school talent. We have a 1,000 less High Schools than Texas and 1500 less than Cali. From Prop Warner to NCAA National Titles by state teams, the state of Florida is way out front with a lot less population.

Upcoming Canes in the HOF:

RB Frank Gore - lock, eventually. 5 year wait after retirement.

WR Reggie Wayne - should be in the next 2-3 years.
WR Andre Johnson - should be, although TD production and playing on Houston with average-to-bad QBs will hurt.
DT Vince Wilfork - should be.

KR Devin Hester - GOAT but can a player who is primarily a returner get in? We’ll see.

I think if you watch the Butt fumble over and over you can get Vince in the HOF.

I love Vince but it will be hard with no stats. The guy held double teams for a living. The Hall does not reward those players. Ngnata from Baltimore would be another guy that should make it but will not.

Yep. Vince was a great space-eater, run stuffer. Not easy to move. Occupied two OL. More athletic than most of these types.
