Wilfork Praises Revis both on and off the field

Vince Wilfork had some kind words to say about Darrelle Revis after he missed practice and was sent home on Tuesday. Wilfork, who is a leader on this Patriots team, focused on his character and playing ability.

"He's a great guy," Wilfork said. "On the field, and off the field. He's just a great guy to be around. Football IQ is just outstanding. He's at an all-time high. A guy at that position, just understanding the game. When you meet guys like that, when you play with guys like that, it makes it a lot easier to run a defense. That's what he brings to the table. With Devin [McCourty] back there and getting [Brandon] Browner back, and Revis and all the other guys, it makes that unit a lot better. I'm glad he's on my squad I'll tell you that"

As it turns out, Revis was sent home because he overslept, but hey its one day. Belichick will get over it!
