Yeehaw! Former New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork has embraced his new identity as a Houston Texan.
First, he showed up to practice in overalls -- and broke the Internet in the process. Now, he and his wife, Bianca Wilfork, are letting go of their family-friendly home in Franklin, MA, for $699,000.
"They're great people," listing agent Michelle Haynes says of the couple, who have three children. "The house is in a great location, nice and private."

She notes that the bucolic home is nestled up against a serene wooded area and the in-ground, heated pool has a lush setting.
The kitchen was renovated last year (before the family realized they were moving to Texas) and features new cabinets and a granite-topped island, according to the agent.
There are two fireplaces, a dining room with hardwood floors and wainscoting, a family room, and a sunroom right off the kitchen.

While his Massachusetts neighbors are sad to see their two-time Super Bowl champ leave, the hefty run stopper has apparently received a Texas-size welcome in his new digs.
