Atlanta falcons picked him as the first overall pick in the 2001 draft making him the first African American player to ever be selected first making history right from the start.Vick is known for his unique style of playing with amazing rushing abilities and in his six years with the falcons he gained his title as the first in rushing yards for quarterbacks.when in 2007 he got arrested for illegal dog fighting everything crumbles for him. he lost his NFL carrier and was sent to 21 months in prison. obviously the falcons released him and didn’t want him in their team. after Micheal got out and got his act together he was signed by the Philadelphia eagles and got to play in week 3 of the 2009 season. in 2010 Vick exploded on the field braking every record possible and got the eagles to the playoffs as the NFC east champions and was given the title of the comeback player of the year. lets go back for a while.growing up in the projects Vick didn’t had an easy childhood. in the east side of port city there was a lot of crime and gang related crimes.sports was the only way out for many kids in that time and Vick is not an exception and looked for it too. Vick started to learn the basics of football at the age of 3 when his father taught him how to play and by the time he was 10 years old he was throwing 3 touchdown passes a game in the boys league. in high school Vick kept his athletic abilities and was throwing over 400 yards in some games raising some interest in him by coaches and future college scouts.and the rest is history.
