Wilfork tells people he's a gynecologist when asked if he plays football

Logan Bowles / USA TODAY Sports

At 6-foot-2 and 325 pounds, Vince Wilfork looks every bit the part of an NFL defensive tackle. His size does cause strangers to stop and stare, though.

In addition to his photo shoot for ESPN's "Body Issue," the Houston Texans star - along with his wife, Bianca - spoke to the magazine about what it's like to be a man his size.

"True fans and guys who follow the sport, they know who I am," Wilfork said. "But sometimes I do get those people that look at me and kind of stop and just stare at me, which I hate."

Bianca noted that her husband has a great response saved for those who ask if he plays football.

"They'll say, 'Do you play ball?' And he'll tell them no, he's a gynecologist," she said.

"Yes," Vince added, "that's what I do."
