Good for Vince.... No need at his age to keep all that weight on.... Hopefully he can continue to shed weight in a healthy manner and enjoy life a bit different than before... Really happy for him...

Makes me happy to see his transformation! Good for him!

I saw him hosting a show on food network and he looked really slim. I’m glad he’s made the healthy decision. So many of the league’s big men can’t adjust to life after football and just keep getting bigger.

Saw the same show and thought the same thing. He’s definitely been putting in the work!

I wonder if Vince is still eating his favorite breakfast dish?

Love me some Vince Wilfork. What a player!!! Glad he's taking care of himself and should reap a healthier life without that now unnecessary football weight

Excellent for him!

This is beautiful news. For a young man who lost mom and dad to diabetes and related illnesses at a young age, he needed to make this change.

Good for him & the rest of those linemen. It’s not healthy to carry all that weight; Glad to see a lot of premier lineman in their latter yrs become healthy. I know Joe Thomas looks like a new man, Tony B looked slim at his HOF induction, Howie Long trimmed up after he hung em up, etc.

Men the size of NFL OL and DL often don‘t live into their later years. How many 300lb 60-70+ year-old do you see?

I wonder if Bianca is still making Vince's favorite breakfast dish?

Not sure if anyone saw this a week or two ago but Le batard also mistakenly thought Vince was still married to Bianca. Vince was super professional in how he handled that.

It says something about the sport of football that a man can be in better health and condition AFTER his playing days than during. Good for Vince Wilfork, very happy for him.

I obviously love football but it would be nice if the sport could be changed so that it doesn’t encourage or reward obesity. We look at a 300 lbs DT as a good thing we want to recruit but taking a step back, it’s messed up for any high school age kid to weigh even close to that much

What’s crazier is guys back in the day, guys weren’t this big. Was just reading an article about the evolution of the offensive linemen.

‘20’s: 6’0 - 211 lbs
‘30’s - 40’s: 6’1 - 220 lbs
‘50’s: 6’2 - 234lbs
‘60’s - 70’s: 6’3 - 255 lbs
‘80’s: 6’4 - 272lbs

Then the 90’s happened, & 300+ lbs lineman were encouraged.
