Biography
Michael Vick is an American football quarterback for the National Football League's Atlanta Falcons franchise.
The left-handed passing Vick is one of the smaller quarterbacks in the league but is regarded by many pundits and fans as being one of the NFL's most exciting players for his speed, agility, and arm strength. However, Vick's detractors have pointed to his mediocre passing statistics and ratings, as well as his inability to lead his team to consistent playoff appearances.
Vick rose from a youth living in a public housing project to become one of the highest paid NFL players, as well as earning lucrative commercial product endorsements. In Virginia and Georgia, he has been involved in charitable activities, especially those which benefit economically-disadvantaged youth such as after-school programs, football camps, and the Boys and Girls Clubs. In 2006, he joined his mother and brother in forming the Vick Foundation.
As of July 21, 2007, Vick and three other men were facing federal charges involving an interstate dog fighting venture called "Bad Newz Kennels" based at his 15-acre estate valued at over $700,000 in a rural area of southeastern Virginia, which authorities contend was purchased and developed specifically for the criminal enterprise. They each face felony and misdemeanor charges, under which convictions carry penalties of prison terms of up to six years and fines of $350,0000, and forfeiture of proceeds and property involved. An arraignment and detention hearing is schedule for July 26 in Richmond. Trial dates had not yet been set. On July 23, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Vick and ordered him not to report to the Falcons training camp.
