One fan pointed out, “Who spelled Wilfork’s name wrong…. ?” The Patriots didn’t shy away from the mix-up, responding with a lighthearted apology, and naming their new equipment manager for making the hasty mistake.
“Sorry about the extra L, we made it in 15 min before practice with an awesome new equipment manager ♂️,” replied the Patriots.
