Vick spent five of his 13 NFL seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and six with the Falcons. During his career, he passed for 22,464 yards and 133 touchdowns and was selected as a Pro Bowler four times.
Although he was an excellent passer, his running prowess was what made him most famous. With 6,109 yards.
He leads all quarterbacks in NFL history, and with 36 touchdowns on the run, he is ranked eighth. He was the first quarterback in history to dash for 1,000 yards in a single season in 2008.
Vick has been often credited for motivating dual-threat quarterbacks in recent years and is acknowledged for having contributed to the revolution of the position.
When Vick entered a guilty plea to his role in a dog fighting ring in 2007, his fame suffered a serious knock. After the Falcons released him, he was imprisoned in federal jail for 21 months.
The Eagles signed him in 2009 when he completed his term. He was voted NFL Comeback Player of the Year the following season after leading Philadelphia to a division championship.
