It’s not often that a 325-pound defensive lineman gets kudos for his vertical leap, which is why New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty is having so much fun with Vince Wilfork's jumping tip of a Nick Folk field goal attempt Sunday.
The play proved critical, as it stopped a go-ahead field goal late in the fourth quarter of a close game against the New York Jets.
McCourty dubbed Wilfork “Air Vince” in the locker room after the game and took to Twitter on Monday to take the joke a step further, with a nod to Michael Jordan’s iconic pose.
