Michael Dwayne Vick is a former American football quarterback who competed in the NFL for 13 seasons. He is widely famous for his role as a quarterback due to his exceptional rushing abilities.

During his active years, Vick played for four different teams. He was the NFL’s first quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards in a season.

The 4x Pro Bowl winner’s career wasn’t a walk in the park. When his career peaked with Atlanta Falcons, he was sentenced to jail for his involvement in the dogfighting case.

Furthermore, in the 2010 season, the NFL star enjoyed his highest season statistically. The same year he earned the Comeback Player of the Year title.

After his retirement in 2017, he joined his former coach Andy Reid as a coaching intern with the Kansas City Chiefs.

He then eventually served as the advisor of Atlanta Legends for the entirety of the 2019 season.

He was suspended by Virginia Tech due to his off-field behavior, which included driving with a revoked license and possession of marijuana.

Eventually, Marcus was able to join the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent, playing only one game. He changed various teams in the NFL before retiring in 2006.

On the contrary, Marcus’s legal issues started to accumulate. He was charged with brandishing a weapon, assaulting a minor, and multiple drug possession charges.

Likewise, in 2017, he pleaded guilty to felony drug possession charges. In light of this incident, he was placed on three years of probation.

Vick has gone clean since the 2017 incident and was mostly off the radar, but he is now active on his social media. 

As per reports, Marcus is currently leaving his past behind and focusing on his future. He recently shared a picture of his son on his Instagram.
