Michael Vick and his family PHOTO\/Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDuring his rookie season, he played in 12 games, starting in eight, and showcased his electrifying playing style.<\/p>\n
He finished with 2,936 passing yards and three rushing touchdowns, setting the stage for what would become a remarkable professional career.<\/p>\n
Vick’s time with the Atlanta Falcons from 2001 to 2006 was marked by significant achievements.<\/p>\n
He earned Pro Bowl selections in 2002, 2004, and 2005, becoming a fan favorite and redefining the quarterback position with his unique style of play.<\/p>\n
In 2006, he made history by becoming the first quarterback to rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season, finishing with 1,039 rushing yards and leading the Falcons to the playoffs.<\/p>\n
His success culminated in a $130 million contract extension in 2004, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history at that time.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Legal issues<\/span><\/h2>\nHowever, Vick’s career took a dramatic turn due to legal troubles.<\/p>\n
In April 2007, he was implicated in a dogfighting operation, leading to federal charges and an indefinite suspension from the NFL.<\/p>\n
In August of that year, he pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy charges related to dogfighting and was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison.<\/p>\n
Vick served approximately 18 months before being released in May 2009.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Later career<\/span><\/h2>\nAfter his release from prison, Vick signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009.<\/p>\n
Initially serving as a backup to Donovan McNabb, he quickly reclaimed his starting position.<\/p>\n
His remarkable comeback season came in 2010 when he led the Eagles to an NFC East title.<\/p>\n
That year, he threw for over 3,000 yards with a passer rating of 100.2 and rushed for over 600 yards.<\/p>\n
His performance earned him the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award.<\/p>\n
Vick continued to play for the Eagles until injuries limited his effectiveness during subsequent seasons from 2011 to 2013.<\/p>\n
After leaving Philadelphia, he signed with the New York Jets for one season before announcing his retirement from professional football in February 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
