Vince Wilfork is retiring from the NFL, and he made the announcement in a method befitting of the 300-plus-pound nose tackle.
Wilfork declared the end of his career in a tweet that also served as an advertisement for Kingsford Charcoal, saying he would hold a "farewell tailgate" before the New England Patriots open the regular season against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 7 at Gillette Stadium.
"No more cleats," Wilfork said in the video. "I'm moving on to smoke meats, fellas."
Wilfork, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, played the past two seasons for the Houston Texans after playing his first 11 seasons with the Patriots.
