Michael Vick's full story: No. 1 NFL Draft pick to Norfolk State head coach | College GameDay

He was one of the most electric talents to ever step onto a football field. A native of Newport News, Virginia, he took his talents to nearby Virginia Tech where he morphed from a local legend to a college football superstar, providing viral moments pre-internet nearly every time he touched the ball. Before long, Michael Vick revolutionized the quarterback position with his legs and his arm, becoming the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft and the face of the league, before his life would come crashing down. At the height of his stardom and fame, Vick plead guilty to federal felony charges for an illegal dogfighting ring he financed and operated back home in Virginia. He was sentenced to 23 months in prison and never returned to be the player he once was. Instead, he spent the years since his release attempting to show the world, he was a changed man, while making a positive impact to those around him. Vick credits a short stint under then Philadelphia Eagles coach, Andy Reid, as a turning point. Vick’s mission was ultimately shared by Norfolk State University who was looking for a new head football coach. What’s happened since is the most unlikely of homecomings and a bonus chapter in the life of one of the most polarizing sports figures of a generation. Learn his full story on College GameDay.
