Michael Vick Transcending QB Role, Humbling Lessons, NFL, Madden, Prison to Redemption | The Pivot

Still needs to go into the HOF , if Brett Farve can steal money from the poor folks and not be stripped of his HOF title then Mike Vick should be able to go into the HOF!!! Hell Mike on TV !! Just saying

[@JJHemingway421]

Most know him as a cheat code in NFL blitz. Playing with ATL in blitz was a B**ch move cause Vick was too good.

[@blinkonce29]

It makes me happy to hear Vick say that when he had zero dollars and first got out T.I wired him money instantly. And acknowledged that he had the support from the community in Atlanta. I grew up in Atlanta and I just started middle school when Vick got drafted, he was our idol...no exaggeration. He was what Deion Sanders was to our parents. To this day Vick is still 1 of the most beloved people in Atlanta. What Allen Iverson is to Philadelphia, Vick is to Atlanta . My mom told me of I got all A's she'd buy me a Vick jersey...I got all A's. We love you Mike Vick, you were the best.

[@jacifrankie9893]

Yes, theyve mentioned this before. It was 100k.

[@kwesijohnson]

I am not a pet owner but I have 5 kids and it is hard to see people care more about animals than they do human lives. This man has paid for his actions, let this man be great at being the better and best version of himself.

[@YourExGranPappi]

@@kwesijohnson It’s fine that he’s free, he did his time (not enough in my opinion). However I don’t see why he should continue to thrive based on the crimes he committed. How do we glorify someone who tortured and unalived helpless animals? If you wanna say he paid his debt to society, that’s fine. But getting a second chance to play in the NFL (which is a privilege, not a right) should have never happened. He deserves to be forgotten, not honored at every opportunity. Also, how can you place the life of a person above the life of another animal? All life is sacred.

[@mikecheckmate7577]

I was a freshman and Vick was a sophomore at Ferguson highschool. He broke all of the JV QB records in half of a season as a freshman then took over varsity and won the last five games of that season. Being a small nobody on JV he treated me with nothing but respect and kindness and took time to show me things the coaches didn't. Keep thriving 7! Bad News 50th n Warwick 757. " Little Troy"

Mike Vick one of the greatest QBs to ever do it

[@kev46geo]

Could have...

[@Amsar93703]

How? How are you the greatest when you don’t have then wins ( only 2 playoff wins), don’t have the accolades, ( 0 All-Pro, never finished near the MVP race), and you don’t have the stats ( even if you add passing and rushing, he never had a season of 4,000 yards, 3 seasons of over 709 yards rushing, and only one season with over total 25 touchdowns. Usually you need to have atleast 1 or 2 of the 3 ( wins, accolades, stats). Vick had none. He’s extremely popular but it’s the Hall of Fame not the Hall of very Good

[@TdpMojo]

I met Vick and all the Falcons in 2003 at training camp @ Furman University bc i ran into them while walking around campus, I caught them coming out of a class room, I was 12 and just started playing football for my school... I got autographs and all and they made me love the game even more, S/O to the Falcons. I'm grown now and have season tickets. It was a dream come true.

Michael Vick is up there with Michael Jordan as far as his impact on the sport he played. Every kid I knew was a Vick fan growing up. Playing backyard football, whoever was qb was trying to play like Vick. Everybody had his jersey. His impact on the sport and on the culture is legendary. His maturity going through and coming out of a situation like his is a model all NFL players should follow. He always carried himself as a man.

Big facts.

[@teachersbox]

I was a Mike Vick fan as a first year teacher at Ferguson High School. I was of course a huge fan of his throughout his time at Warwick and Virginia Tech. But I was even more impressed with the man that he developed into and the way that he accepted his responsibilities and showed the world that he is not only a singular football talent, but a transcendent HUMAN BEING!! Very proud of him and his entire family for enduring so much negativity with so much class. A true redemption story (for those who demonized him) and a great exemplar for those of us who never stopped rooting and praying for our native son. Mike Vick is Newport News finest and we will ALWAYS believe in and support this brother.

People think that some of these new age quarterbacks can 'run,' and then they see Vick clips of him taking off and outrunning defensive backs and they back off on their definition of a 'running' quarterback. Michael just had a different gear, and he had a laser gun for an arm to boot. A VERY RARE TALENT. Ive never seen anyone quite like him.
